Unfinished is a 40-minute personal documentary that encapsulates the struggle of a daughter's mental illness as seen through the lens of her mother. Over a series of hospitalizations through involvement of the ‘invisible’ medics treating her daughter, the mother’s frustrating enquiry to understand and untangle the conundrum of her daughter’s mental health condition unfold. The filmmaker-mother critically examines home videos filmed by her during her daughter’s first episode that unravels the family’s genetic archive. She fears that her past films may be a foreshadow of their lived experience.
