The film is about me, Matthew Dickson, becoming the first person with schizophrenia to bicycle across Canada in 2023.

I wanted to show people that schizophrenia isn't a death sentence, and to give hope to those suffering with the disease.

"Matthew is comfortable explaining difficult topics such as schizophrenia and suicide...but don't worry, he maintains a light-hearted humour through it all."
