CRAZY – The Rooster is Dead
Documentary Film by Reinhild Dettmer-Finke
77 Min., 2021
"CRAZY – The Rooster is Dead" is the personal version of the documentary "Crazy – The Freiburger Hilfsgemeinschaft". For a year and a half, the director and her team filmed at the Freiburger Hilfsgemeinschaft, a meeting place that supports people affected by mental illness. "CRAZY – The Rooster is Dead" is like chamber play on film: full of laughter, tears, and even death. "The Rooster Is Dead" is a beloved German round.
"Crazy – The Freiburger Hilfsgemeinschaft" What is "crazy"? What is "nomal"? The long-term documentary with the visitors of the "Freiburger Hilfsgemeinschaft" gives impressive insights into everyday life of people with mental illness.
In a cinematic chamber play, they talk very openly about their experiences in psychiatry, of coping with everyday life and their very personal problems as well as healing processes and inclusion. The film IRRE aims to help people with mental illness to understand and contribute to their terminal stigmatization.
