Seattle's True Independent Film Festival 2009

Why do we see so many severely mentally ill people on the street, often off treatment and nearly always alone? Physician and filmmaker, Delaney Ruston, has seen her paranoid schizophrenic father in this state. Unlisted depicts Ruston's journey, now as a doctor, to stop hiding from her father and to understand his illness and its impact on their relationship. Prompted by memories of struggling to get help for her father, Ruston sets out to understand why it is so hard to get mental health care in America. When her father suddenly stops his medicine, what starts as an emotional tale of reconciliation turns into a frantic journey for survival.
