| This Beggar's Description, directed by Pierre Tetrault, tells the story of his brother Phil's descent into periods of incredible darkness brought on by schizophrenia and its far-reaching effect on their family and friends. A poet, musician and painter, Phil's erratic and sometimes violent behaviour eventually wore down those closest to him, while making him seem like a stranger. All the while, his writing was what sustained him; offering insights into what he calls " the gymnastics of my mind."
