Barbara

The plot

BARBARA Canada, Director - Aidan Lesser

A lone, crisis-hotline operator receives a distressing call during her graveyard shift.

​

"Barbara is based upon real events that happened to our lead actress (and my mother) during her time as a crisis hotline operator. It's a personal story that faces the loneliness and stigma associated with mental illness with empathy. Additionally, the movie highlights the difficulty of being, and the courage it takes to be a hotline operator (and more broadly a professional in the field of mental health). We hope the story resonates with you as it did with us."
