I have spent over 18 years making the Award-Winning documentary film, "DRUNK IN PUBLIC",
which chronicles the life of Mark David Allen, a man arrested more than 500 times.
The number of issues and related content raised by the film are countless. There is
something in it for everyone. Remarkably, the film hits both patients and practitioners
alike, working on a variety of levels. The film opens eyes and challenges hearts.
