Synopsis

When the 50 year old Jeremy Oxley tentatively walked out on stage he was enveloped by a tsunami of rapturous applause. Jeremy’s ability just to have survived 30 years of living with schizophrenia is remarkable in itself. The courage and the strength he mustered to return to the stage made the performance heroic. Told largely from Jeremy’s own perspective, THE SUNNYBOY offers an intimate and enlightening exploration of a much misunderstood and stigmatised condition. THE SUNNYBOY is a story of hope, a celebration of survival and the healing power of unconditional love.
