Running from Crazy (cc)

In Running From Crazy, Mariel Hemingway, granddaughter of fame author Ernest Hemingway, strives to better understand her family’s history of suicide and mental illness. As a young girl, Mariel followed her supermodel sister, Margaux, into the acting world. Critics immediately praised Mariel’s talent, which created a deep rift between the sisters. Barbara Kopple’s bold portrait of the Hemingways intertwines haunting archival footage from Margaux’s personal family documentary with scenes from Mariel’s life today as she advocates for suicide prevention and strives to live a rigorously healthy lifestyle to combat what appears to be her birthright. Mariel’s courageous journey of acceptance and introspection allows her to view her family and turbulent upbringing through new eyes and, for the first time, accept them with a peaceful heart.
