Family. It's Complicated! An interview with filmmaker Linda Brown about her movie "You See Me"
Why is it important to make sense of ones parents? What is to be gained from understanding them, especially in late life? How do we lay to rest a family member who has repeatedly hurt others and caused pain?
What begins as an intimate, autobiographical story about loss and grief evolves into a universal look at the impact of trauma, the tragedy of mental illness and the meaning of family.
Combing through all the Super 8 and VHS footage her father ever filmed, Brown turns the family's apparently blissful life as a nuclear family unit on its head. Who was this man who inflicted fits of violent rage upon them all, most of all upon their mother?
The result is an engrossing film about the danger of taking unresolved grief to our graves, and the consequences of neglecting to confront and treat deep rooted emotional painfor our children, and our children's children. As we witness a vital new bond form between mother and daughter across the generational divide, far reaching truths, about patterns of behavior, family dynamics and gender roles are observed. Behind the images of happiness projected through home movies is a more complex, nuanced story about the legacy of unarticulated pain, secrets and lies.
You See Me is an inspiring, engaging and empowering film, a bittersweet love song and lament. It will help others break cycles of abuse with its powerful example of how, by using our innate intelligence, creativity and intuition, we are all capable of exploring our own family history to access undercurrents that, like the rings of water that ripple out on the familys pond--a recurring visual motif in the film--continue to touch us in the present.

Full Catastrophe Parenting
Finding calm in the chaos, magic in the mess and strength in the struggle. We are Chris and Scott. Two imperfect people who have been through the parenting gamut. Like you, we've struggled. A lot. We've dealt with the issues of adoption and attachment challenges, special needs parenting, health issues, disability, trauma, loss and heartache. But we've held on for the ride and we're still here. Has it been hard? You bet. Has it been worth it? Hell yes. Advanced clinical degrees in social work, counseling and school psychology helped equip us for this journey, but it didn't protect us from the hardship. Everything shared here has come as a result of rising from the ashes. From holding on to hope. From being present and learning to listen....to our children, one another and the stirrings of our hearts. If you're a struggling parent, you're welcome here. If you've ever wanted to give up (but were afraid to admit it) you're welcome here. If you're fed up with the promise of quick fixes, diagnoses or turns of the corner that never materialize, you're welcome here. Moms, dads and caregivers in the trenches...you rock. Join us as we celebrate this messy, hard and grand adventure.Join Podchaser to...
