News anchor Randi Isaksen struggles to help her sister navigate a broken mental health system in Recovery Channel. Told through the duelling prism of documentary and narrative storytelling, filmmaker Ellen Ugelstad exposes an oppressive system designed to control instead of heal the human condition.
