Ezzie Films and BlueStar Media Present "Pack Up Your Sorrows"; A Story of Illness, Hope and Transformation

New Documentary Explores Ways of Living Well with Mental Illness Premieres in Boston-Area, June 18th

WHO: Ezzie Films and BlueStar Media present “Pack Up Your Sorrows”, a new documentary film about Boston-based singer/songwriter Meg Hutchinson which explores the realities of living a healthy life while coping with mental illness. It will have its Boston-area premiere on Thursday, June 18, 2015.

“Pack Up Your Sorrows” follows Meg as she learns to live a healthy life with Bipolar Disorder. Through her eyes, viewers will explore different aspects of mood disorders–– how families try to deal with the illness in their midst, the biology of these diseases of the brain, and the effects of traditional and alternative therapies like medication and meditation. Viewers will learn, as Meg has, that these illnesses of the brain are not a moral failing or a character weakness, and that treatment options are improving.
