After a breakdown in her twenties, the filmmaker returns decades later to the psychiatric hospital where she was once a patient—seeking to understand how that experience shaped her life, her art, and her voice. Learning to Speak is not a story of overcoming, but of becoming—an exploration of how one makes meaning from the fragments of a life.
