Aged 18, Meg started hearing a voice. She tried ignoring it, didn’t tell a soul, yet the voice grew. More abusive, more delusional and often completely out of her control. Eventually, her paranoia wore her down. She experienced ‘an explosion of mental health’, followed by years of medical intervention and institutions. Bridging the Gap offers a snapshot of Meg’s world as she grapples with the boundaries between her internal delusions and her everyday life. This film challenges the viewer’s perspective on hearing voices, opens their eyes on medicalisation, and begs the question ‘what even is reality?’.
