Running from Crazy examines the personal journey of Academy Award nominated actress, author and mental health advocate Mariel Hemingway, the granddaughter of writer Ernest Hemingway, as she strives for a deeper understanding of the suicide and mental illness that have afflicted so many of her family members, including her supermodel/actress sister, Margaux Hemingway and her oldest sister, artist Joan Muffet Hemingway.
Intimate verite footage and raw, emotional interviews with Mariel are interwoven with stunning, rarely seen archival footage of the three Hemingway sisters and their parents.
Directed by acclaimed two time Academy Award winning filmmaker (Harlan County U.S.A. and American Dream) Barbara Kopple, Running From Crazy is a true testament of the sheer power of the human spirit and our ability to rise above the sadness of our past to find a better, happier tomorrow.
