Five people who hear voices take part in an innovative form of therapy, where psychiatrist Dirk Corstens speaks both about and directly with their voices.

Exploring who the voices are, what they want and how they relate to past experiences, the sessions open paths towards greater insight and acceptance. My Word Against Mine is a powerful, hopeful and vividly cinematic portrait of resilience, trauma and the human mind.

Includes a post-screening discussion with Dirk Corstens, co-presented with Hearing Voices Network Dundee.

Content Note: Themes of childhood sexual abuse, trauma, suicide and voice hearing.
