- Summary:
- This is a portrait of a remarkable young black man suffering from paranoid schizophrenia. Hearing voices and hallucinating as a child, abandoned by his parents in his teens, twenty-one-year-old Leslie obeyed voices telling him to jump from a fifth floor apartment window. Leslie himself conceived and developed this journey into his private world. He provided the art works, graphics and original music. A compelling story teller, he draws us into his startling past, providing a direct experience with one of the most prevalent, tragic illnesses of our time.
