Description
Charlie is a gifted musician struggling to step outside the revolving door of a mental health industry that has defined and sustained him for over seventeen years. Walls are blank canvases for thoughts and images; silence gives birth to sheets of sound and song; daily events are charged with layers of reflective feeling. This portrait of Charles Lang, illuminated by Lang's own drawings, chronicles the journey of an unrelenting, warm, funny, imaginative spirit in a world that too often rewards strength over sensitivity.
