Touched with Fire

Two bipolar patients meet in a psychiatric hospital and begin a romance that brings out all of the beauty and horror of their condition.

"Touched with Fire" takes the audience on an authentic journey through the highs and lows of bipolar disorder and how it affects not only the individuals, but also friends, families and work life. It is an outstanding film written, directed, edited, and scored by filmmaker Paul Dalio who struggles with a bipolar disorder.

Bring your questions, and share community resources. The film will be followed with a panel discussion by mental health professionals in our community. It is another step toward ending the stigma of mental illness.

Saturday, May 27th, 2:00 pm - 5:30 pm with a resource table. Free admittance.

May is Mental Health month. Unitarian Universalist of NRV Congregation and National Bank of Blacksburg helped to make this presentation possible.
