Event
BORDERLINE Film Screening
BORDERLINE is the first documentary film to capture the lived experience of Borderline Personality Disorder. An estimated 2 percent of the US population carry the diagnosis, 80 percent of these people attempt suicide, and 10 percent succeed. Approximately 25 percent of the in-patient substance addicted and 25 percent of the in-patient eating disorder populations meet the diagnostic criteria for BPD, yet few are actually given a diagnosis.
This film follows one person with the Borderline diagnosis who gives us access to her internal world. Regina is a 45-year old woman outta work and outta love. Witty and self-aware, she makes observations that are uncomfortable but astute, reacts on impulse, attacks, distracts, meditates, trips over herself, laughs, burns bridges, makes social gaffes, apologizes, loses her cool, philosophizes and remains dogged in her search for recovery. Yet, the human intimacy she needs most to recover, her symptoms threaten to destroy.
Immediately following the screening will be a Q&A with the filmmaker, the main subject of the film, and more.
Please join the filmmaking team for a cocktail reception after the panel discussion.
