Mania and depression, they're minefields. If you're fortunate, you walk around the mine. If you're unfortunate, you step on it.

"Kathy Leichter does that rare thing in art and film-making. She translates what is harrowing and inexplicable -- in this case, her mother Nina's decision to end her life -- into something beautiful and meaning-filled. I've seen people react to "Here One Day" and it goes beyond the normal relationship of audience to documentary. She's offering a kind of guide post toward thinking about mental illness and suicide in new, more constructive ways."
