Billy à vie
Billy à vie is a dive into schizophrenia like never before. A documentary work to help anyone who encounters schizophrenia, to understand and share the experience of a relentless illness, lived from within. A book to make peace. A book meant to serve as a tool to complement the film. Each work can stand alone, but together, they’re even better!
