Renowned filmmaker Andy Fiore offers a thoughtful look into the link between brain injuries and the criminal justice system in his latest documentary, “Invisible No More.” The film, anticipated by many, delves into the lives of brain injury survivors: Derrick, Richard, and Jim, who have faced two brain injuries and incarceration, spotlighting an issue that is largely understated in our society.
After the film, an amazing panel with Dr. Gabor Mate, MP Alistair MacGregor (Bill C-277), clinical neuroscientist, Catherine Wiseman-Hawkes, Nanaimo City Councillor, Ben Geselbracht, Andy Fiore and subjects from the film will take the stage. After the panel Dr. Mate will sign books and the night includes a performance by the Highs and Lows choir and ending with Trevor speaking about his transition to psychiatric nurse and performs a 45-minute set.
“Invisible No More” captures both the scientific and social consequences of brain injuries in the criminal justice system. By focusing on survivors grappling with the dual challenges of brain injuries and time in prison, it provides a candid insight into their recovery journeys.
The film’s trailer has already stirred significant global attention, prompting important conversations about the complex relationship between brain injuries and the criminal justice system.
Andy Fiore, known for his genuine storytelling, brings a unique perspective to this project. Fiore’s personal history, including surviving two motorcycle accidents and an anoxic brain injury from an overdose, lends a genuine depth to his storytelling. His firsthand experience with brain injury ensures an authentic and compassionate portrayal of the film’s subjects.
As the worldwide premiere approaches, global audiences are encouraged to engage in this essential conversation, elevating the often-overlooked stories of survivors.
