Mental Roots

We are placed in the shoes of a first-generation black Brit who embodies the fears and stigmas of mental health issues in the black community.

At a local youth meeting, he starts to wonder: what led to his mental breaking point? Is he already beyond help? Coming from a context where many young people like him live as shells of themselves, are his true emotions worth trusting?

Mental Roots offers a challenging proposition: maybe we should see vulnerability as part of the cure, rather than the disease...
