Birdsong (2019)

An open letter to those who are unaware. It’s something that affects us all. Whether it be ourselves or someone we’re close to, mental illness continues to weigh us down. We need to remember there are always others around us to help pull us out and never think this a battle you need to face on your own. Birdsong looks to show those on the other side of mental illness how to react or treat those going through these tough times.

REVIEWS

Couldn’t be more topical at the moment, very serious subject. I thought it showed a great deal of sensitivity in the depiction of someone’s struggle. I thought the central performance was very strong (Elliot Hay) [...] it’s a film that made you think and it’s a film that made you hope that people will listen to it and take action
