Orchestrating Change, the documentary on Me2/Orchestra is scheduled to be aired on September 5 and 6 on the Vermont PBS Plus channel. The main airing will be at 8 pm on the 5th, but it's also scheduled to be shown again at midnight (5th/6th) and at 10:30 pm on September 20. Carole Furr, a resident of Richmond, and other members from NAMI VT have been participants since the inception of the orchestra in Burlington in 2011.
Me2/ ("me, too") is the world's only classical music organization created for individuals with mental illnesses and the people who support them. Me2/ serves as a model organization where people with and without mental illnesses work together in an environment where acceptance is an expectation, patience is encouraged, and supporting each other is a priority. Me2/Orchestra has changed lives through its focus on mental illness and reducing stigma.
The documentary was filmed in 2017 and is now showing at film festivals and on PBS.
