- Additional information
- This is an output consisting of the television documentary ‘All in the Mind’ (2016) instigated by, and based upon the experiences of, Tim Rhys-Evans. The project is an example of autoethnography wherein Rhys-Evans explores the debilitating effects of mental illness through the lens of the period in which he suffered with the disease, with the aim of opening up the conversation around mental illness and thereby addressing its continued stigmatization in wider society. Rhys-Evans provided the documentary makers with journals and notebooks that he had used to record his time in a psychiatric hospital, and worked with them from these materials to fashion a script, over which he had full editorial control. He decided who should be interviewed for the programme, and suggested Ruth Jones for the voice over. He also had editorial control throughout the post-production process. The film was first broadcast on BBC ONE Wales in March 2016 before being broadcast on BBC ONE network in May 2016.
The submitted USB drive contains the documentary along with a pdf providing details from the research process.
