Play beyond the entertainment
“In Senuas sagaNinja theory has presented one of the most misunderstood conditions with incredible ability, respect and sensitivity. Her presentation of the psychosis was unaffected with attention to the underlying clinical ndollarsciences and, above all, the personal experiences of those who even supported the psychosis load.
“Ninja theory told the story and reinforced the voice, by people who are often unknown or released. It was an enormous privilege to play a small role in their work and to observe the deep and reach of its effects on the challenging stigma.”
