Mental Health Awareness Week runs from Monday 10 May to Sunday 16 May 2021. This year, join the fight for mental health.
During this pandemic, millions of us have experienced a mental health problem, or seen a loved one struggle. And we’ve seen that the support we all need just isn’t out there.
For them, for us and for you – we must take this chance to step up the fight for mental health. That means fighting for change, for fairness, for respect and for life-changing support.
The theme for the 2021 Mental Health Awareness Week is nature.
For #MHAW, the Birds Eye View Team will be watching a film a day.
Today’s film, chosen by Isra Al Kassi, one of the BEV team, is
Sami Blood (2016)
Written & Directed by Amanda Kernell
A teenage girl is taken from her home and family and sent to a state school where indigenous students are converted into acceptable members of Swedish society.
Kernell’s Swedish coming-of-age debit feature. The first 10 minutes of the film (and part of the end) comes directly from the short film Stoerre Vaerie (2015, dir. Amanda Kernell).
