This is a great blog. But, what I want you to see is the trailer for this film. I'm not promoting the film, per se, but I AM promoting good journalism, humanism and compassion. The film's based on the L.A. Times writer's (Steve Lopez) serial about a homeless schizophrenic musician. The film's been given Lopez' imprimatur, so I guess it's good and it's accurate. Mostly, though, it's about schizophrenia's intrusion on a wonderful man's life. And the movie's hopeful. If you'd like more info on the issue of schizophrenia, check out this site, too:
