A Light Beneath Their Feet

BUY TICKETS

Emotionally raw and bracingly honest, this coming-of-age drama balances the pull of family obligation against personal aspirations. In a commanding performance, Taryn Manning (Orange is the New Black) plays a mother who is wrestling with bipolar disorder and an imminent empty nest. Dedicated daughter Beth has a bright future ahead but must decide if she will stay near home to care for her unpredictable mom or follow her own path.

A panel discussion on bipolar disorder and mental health will follow this film.
