In 1957, when “Stevie” was six and Mike 14, psychosis overwhelmed Mike. He never lived at home again and died alone in a Denver boarding home at 33. Journalists used Mike's death to expose these “ratholes” warehousing people with mental illness. In this presentation, Trimble recreates Mike's life. Equal parts detective story, social history, journey of self-discovery, and compassionate memorial to a family and a forgotten life, "The Mike File" will move every listener with a relative or friend touched by psychiatric illness or disability—which is pretty much all of us.
