The National Alliance for Research on Schizophrenia and Depression aided in the film's production,[5] which was complete by 1992, despite the film not being released until 1996.[6] The following year, a VHS recording of the film was distributed by Wheeler Communications.[7] Susan Gingerich appears in the film,[8] as does Fredrick J. Frese.[9] A National Health Service Corps reviewer called the film "extraordinarily moving."[10]
