Free Film Screening, “No One Cares About Crazy People”

You’re Invited! A Free Community Screening

Turning Point Community Programs is bringing something special to the State Theatre of Modesto on August 30th, and we would love for you to join us!

We’re hosting a FREE screening of No One Cares About Crazy People, a powerful and deeply human documentary about the crisis of severe mental illness in America, and the families and advocates refusing to give up on the people they love despite a system that too often makes care difficult to access.”

Directed and produced by award-winning filmmaker Gail Freedman and inspired by the acclaimed book by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Ron Powers, No One Cares About Crazy People is a raw, unflinching look at the crisis of severe mental illness in America and the systems at play right here in California. Narrated by Bob Odenkirk, it is a moving and timely film that reflects on what our communities have built and the work that still remains.

Sunday, August 30th

The State Theatre of Modesto

Doors open at 1:00 PM | Film begins at 2:00 PM

While you’re there, swing by our table in the lobby to connect with local mental health resources, and shop our limited-edition TPCP 50th Anniversary t-shirts and totes featuring original artwork by one of our own talented members. Every dollar goes right back into TPCP’s Stanislaus County programs.
