I can't, I might', I can: The Diary of an Upwards Spiral

'I can't, I might', I can: The Diary of an Upwards Spiral' is a three minute animated poem detailing one woman's journey from the struggles of early recovery to being able to imagine a life beyond her wildest dreams.

Dreams and hopes look different, for different people at different stages in their recovery. Like life, they ebb and flow, change and shift and we wanted to incorporate that feeling into our film. One person's dream might well be another person's nightmare, and so we asked our friends in recovery for their help. We collected the dreams and hopes of a number of women in recovery (who have given us permission to use their words/voices but choose to remain anonymous) and have woven their words into the piece to make it a truly collaborative project.
