New Movie on Schizophrenia

Before They Fall Off the Cliff

One family's bout with schizophrenia is the topic of a documentary by longtime St. Louis News Anchor Art Holliday, who will present his award-winning documentary, "Before They Fall Off the Cliff,"

Dr. Fred Nute, social sciences instructor and chairman of the department, said the documentary "presents a great opportunity for us to increase public awareness of mental health issues, especially learning more about the fallout that mental illness can have on the family, as well as society at large."

Released in 2002, the hour-long film is about a St. Louis family's tragedy with schizophrenia. It is Holliday's first documentary, and has received wide critical acclaim from mental health organizations in St. Louis and beyond.
