- On Monday, June 27, 2022, WTTW, hosted Chicago Tonight VOICES - Hiding in Plain Sight: Youth Mental Illness screening and conversation. Mental illness is one of the most significant health crises in the world—as pervasive as cancer, diabetes, and heart disease—but it often exists in secret and is endured in isolation. It’s where sadness leaves off and depression begins, where nervousness becomes anxiety, excitement becomes mania, and habit becomes addiction. It’s the place where simply living becomes painful.
Chicago Tonight co-host Paris Schutz moderated this important conversation in conjunction with Hiding in Plain Sight: Youth Mental Illness, a new two-part, four-hour documentary by executive producer Ken Burns, co-directed by Erik Ewers and Christopher Loren Ewers, produced by Julie Coffman, and written by David Blistein.
