Logline: This hair raising documentary series explores the parallels between mental health and the spiritual world.

Each episode delves into the clinical realities of mental illness and substance dependence, exploring the complex intersection of mental health and faith-based belief systems.

Through 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 alleged 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. Each episode centers on a particular condition, such as psychosis, depression, bipolar disorder, addiction, alcoholism, or other medical and behavioral health struggles, and investigates the parallels people have long drawn between clinical symptoms and spiritual experiences.

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. Instead, it explores the overlap, the tension, and the unanswered questions at the intersection of psychology, psychiatry, addiction recovery, theology, and Christian testimony.

The Director: Kali Mann is a Christian writer and producer who turns the invisible weight of mental illness into stories you 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 veterans. She named the campaign “Combat the Silence.” It went on to earn Emmy recognition for its public service announcement campaign, including “Battle Buddy,” “Couples Therapy” and “A Mother’s Grief,” with “Couples Therapy” also earning a separate 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.
