‘Hadi’s Schizophrenia Story’ smoothly accounts Hadi’s experience of various treatments for his mental illness. The short film is able to convey the reality of recurrences in Hadi’s illness while capturing the optimism that Hadi projects.

The short film is produced out of the collaboration between Hadi Sucarsa, a member of the Jakarta chapter of the Indonesian Community Care for Schizophrenia (Komunitas Peduli Skizofrenia Indonesia or KPSI), and Yossy Meilisa, an undergraduate student of the Faculty of Psychology, in the Catholic University of Atma Jaya Jakarta. 

This production followed a two-day Participatory Video workshop in late October 2019 held by the Faculty of Psychology, Catholic University of Atma Jaya Jakarta and Erminia Colucci of the Faculty of Psychology, Middlesex University London, whose presence was made possible with the support of 'Together for Mental Health' project - a grant recipient from the Global Challenges Research Fund (GCRF) of the  Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) - as well as Studio Teknologi Pendidikan Perpustakaan of the Catholic University of Atma Jaya Jakarta.

This short film was awarded first place in the Projiwa Film Festival held on January 17, 2020.

Furthermore, Yossy and Hady were also invited as guests to the Indonesian radio broadcast ‘RPKFM 96.30’ (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PWQurCXMYKY).
