Hiding in Plain Sight on Feb 1, 2023 | UCSB Arts & Lectures

“Utterly breathtaking.” – First Lady Dr. Jill Biden

From executive producer Ken Burns, Hiding in Plain Sight is a documentary about the mental health crisis among youth in America. Follow the journeys of more than 20 young Americans from all over the country and all walks of life who have struggled with thoughts and feelings that have troubled – and, at times – overwhelmed them. Hiding in Plain Sight presents an unstinting look at both the seemingly insurmountable obstacles faced by those who live with mental disorders and the hope that many have found after that storm. (Ken Burns, 2022, 1:52 min.)
