Flight From Darkness: A Bipolar Disorder Documentary
Percy Paul began his journey in a remote Dene community in northern Saskatchewan, a place where far too often alcohol and violence were close at hand. Despite these circumstances, he excelled in school and sports, eventually proving himself a world class distance runner and gold medallist. Within a few short years, Percy found himself at Princeton, working alongside one of the world’s leading authorities on string theory, black holes and quantum field theory. But all this changed when he turned 28. Percy became an alcoholic in an effort to cope with his extreme mood swings. After a failed suicide attempt, he was diagnosed with bipolar disorder. This documentary chronicles Percy’s dazzling rise and fall as a brilliant mathematician, to his continuing struggle to prevail over his illness and realize his full potential. The doctors wrote Schizoaffective Disorder as the diagnosis. It’s in human nature to resist a lifelong sentence of medications. Also, people have a tendency to think that once their symptoms go away, the illness is not going to come back. That keeps many people in this terribly destructive orbit. They can’t move out of that orbit to see that they’re eventually going to get burned up by the sun. (Dr. Kay Jamison, Professor of Psychiatry, Johns Hopkins University.)
