May 16 on PBS - 'You're not alone': New documentary will feature Kids in Crisis Milwaukee youth storytellers
Wisconsin is collaborating with Milwaukee PBS on a documentary about the lives, challenges and triumphs of a group of four young people who told their stories as part of the Kids in Crisis series.
Rory Linnane wrote in her story announcing the project:
The subjects of the documentary have not had easy lives. One was born addicted to heroin. One wrote a goodbye note when he was 7 years old. One was cyberbullied relentlessly. But they are thriving, smart, funny and dedicated to ending the stigma around mental illness.
The film will debut on Milwaukee PBS on May 16. It will be followed by a series of screening events around the state.
