Documentary filmmaker Kathy Leichter moved
back into her childhood home where her mother, Nina, committed
suicide in 1995. Nina had bipolar disorder. She was charming, witty
and a mental health activist.
Kathy gained greater insight into Nina’s joys and struggles when
she found her mother’s personal audiotapes. Kathy chronicles
her mother’s life and bouts with bipolar in the film “Here One Day.” She speaks with Host
Jenee Darden about the film, her mother and how family members cope
when a loved one lives with a mental illness.
