Walk the line

Emma Davie is the story editor of this film project collaborating with writer Marien Omary and AIMS outreach project, Scotland. The film was commissioned by this award-winning community mental health service to create an innovative and challenging participatory project devised by the participants based on their own experiences. It challenged concepts of labelling, isolation, and the stigmatisation of mental health.

This dataset is held in the Edinburgh DataVault, directly accessible only to authorised University of Edinburgh users.

The work explores how those with mental health issues can find agency in a film making process which de-stigmatises it and helps to empower them as collaborators. The film, called "Walk the Line" has been created using an innovative process of eliciting material from the participants which involved them coming up with original visual ideas. It will be finished by the end of July 2019 and should be part of an eduction pack to be distributed by AIMS.
