Insanity: What Happened to Bruce Hill-Tout

Insanity explores the disappearance of Bruce Hill-Tout disappeared during an episode of paranoia generated from schizophrenia in 1998. “Through interviews with her father and siblings, family photos and dramatizations, Hill-Tout tells her brother’s story. But it’s not a mystery. The family doesn’t spend much time in the film unravelling clues. Instead, they share their feelings of guilt, loss and confusion, which leads to a broader story about the gaps that allow people such as Bruce to fall through the cracks. “ Wendy Hill-Tout documents the human side of mental health challenges and uses the film to tell the story of her brother missing for 25 years and to push for change. She asks that people write to their MLA, MP, Ministers of Health, etc and demand change to ensure that no one else’s family member falls through the cracks this way.
