How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A scrappy, irreverent drama about misfits finding purpose and community through pirate radio inside a psychiatric hospital. It's tender and funny in equal measure, celebrating the humanity and humor of people struggling with mental illness.
