What is their why?
Guen Murroni is an Italian-Irish writer-director and domestic violence activist. She’s developing her debut feature and a slate of feature and TV projects. Her shorts have won BIFA, BAFTA and Oscar Qualifying awards. Her short “As For Me” was funded by the BBH “Differently Does It” 2022 award. Guen loves telling human stories, through politics or social issues, with a touch of humour, surrealism and joy.
“Mental health is sensationalized and misrepresented in the media. I want to challenge that. Dissociative identity disorder (DID), in particular, has often been depicted by dangerous characters, including abusers. This couldn’t be further from the truth. A lot of people with DID have been abused themselves.
I’m tired of stereotypes. I want people with firsthand experience to enter the conversation surrounding mental health, which is finally opening up. As someone who has experienced dissociation myself, I am adamant to create a space with respectful – and joyous – stories.”

I’m a health educator and write books, counsel and lecture on the healing power of forgiveness and what it means to live with Love.
This is an inspiring film that should be seen more widely. It took courage for Hannah Almond to share her story about how people with multiple personalities can still function, find resolution, and find some degree of joy and peace despite horrendous past abuse. Great job . . . Thanks for sharing. Don’t know if she worked out some of the needed “forgiveness” elements needed to move forward, which would have added anoter layer to “surviving abuse, but I hope, for her own sake, she has come to terms with her abusers.
