From Bipolar Express to Eden Express

I’ve been invited to board a global impact coalition in partnership with a new feature film executive produced by Stephen Fry. From the award-winning team behind The Apprentice (film) and based on Mark Vonnegut’s memoir, The Eden Express, the film follows Mark, played by Jonah Hauer-King, as he searches for ‘Eden’ on earth. But as this new utopia comes into view, Mark starts to hear voices and see wild visions, marking the start of his journey with bipolar disorder. The coalition will amplify the voices of individuals with bipolar ahead of the film’s global theatrical release in 2027.

Stephen Fry inspired me so much with his doc Secret Life of the Manic Depressive when I was reeling from my own diagnosis. It also inspired me to make The Bipolar Express for RTHK and set up Bipolar Hong Kong, HK’s first (and only) bipolar support group, so this feels delightfully serendipitous.
