Middlebury’s Town Hall Theater presents the Vermont premiere of director Gail Freedman’s riveting documentary No One Cares About Crazy People, based on Pulitzer Prize-winning local author Ron Powers’ book of the same name. The timely film — narrated by Bob Odenkirk of "Breaking Bad" fame — immerses viewers in the complex world of individuals with severe psychiatric disorders, shining a light on the nation’s growing mental health crisis and the inadequate systems in place to address it. Backed by a poignant soundtrack from Wilco’s Jeff Tweedy, the feature employs a hybrid narrative style to combine one family’s heartbreaking memoir with America’s social history. Post-screening, Freedman and Powers engage the audience in a powerful discussion.
