During this absence, I decided I wanted to document this part of my life, to try to raise awareness of this little-known condition, to help others who share this diagnosis.”
Oscar-nominated documentarian Irene Taylor is the director of the project. Amazon MGM Studios, which will air the documentary on their streaming platform Amazon Prime, described the documentary as an “emotional, energetic, and poetic love letter to music,”
