Radical psychiatrist Prof. Ivor Browne (1929 – 2024) was a leading figure in the Irish medical establishment and one of its greatest critics.  His pioneering and often controversial work changed attitudes to mental illness in Ireland. In this quirky and challenging cinematic portrait Browne, then in his late eighties, radiates energy, good humour, compassion and a capacity for deeply informed, startlingly innovative thought. With contributions from Tommy Tiernan, Tom Murphy, Mary Coughlan, Sebastian Barry, Nell McCafferty, and Prof. Brendan Kelly.
