Logline:

An honest and compassionate exploration of mental health, addiction, and the power of the name of Jesus Christ. Each episode of this six-part documentary focuses on a particular condition, such as depression, bipolar disorder, addiction, alcoholism, or other medical and behavioral health struggles, and investigates the parallels between clinical symptoms and spiritual experiences.

In intimate interviews, celebrities, everyday people, clinicians, ministry leaders, mental health professionals, and theologians recount their lived, supernatural experiences. The series also investigates real-life footage of deliverances and exorcisms.

Synopsis: This documentary series takes an episodic approach to the complex relationship between mental health and the spiritual as understood within Christian belief.

Through verified evidence, expert insight, and firsthand testimony, the series brings together voices from ministry, mental health, theology, medicine, and ordinary individuals who have lived through these realities. Rather than following a single treatment facility or presenting recovery as a closed system, the series broadens the lens to examine how different people, professionals, and faith communities interpret suffering, healing, and hope.

The series takes a posture of humility, acknowledging the complexity of both medicine and spirituality. It does not argue that mental illness is only spiritual, nor that faith replaces treatment.

The Director: Kali Mann is a Christian, Emmy winning writer and producer who turns the invisible weight of mental struggles into visuals that audiences can feel and cannot forget. At the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, she traded scripted scenes for life-and-death reality on the frontlines as a first responder. There, she met families in the throes of addiction, mental illness and suicidal crisis. That proximity to suffering permanently changed her storytelling.

Mann was later tapped to lead a national effort to reduce suicide among the United States military. Her campaign went on to earn Emmy recognition for its public service announcements, including “Battle Buddy,” “Couples Therapy” and “A Mother’s Grief,” with “Couples Therapy” also earning an additional Emmy nomination.

Mann’s work does not sensationalize pain; it dignifies it, giving suffering a voice and offering viewers clarity, compassion and a pathway to hope through Jesus Christ.
