Synopsis

*The Day We Danced on the Moon* tells the story of ‘The Channel One Band’, a reggae band made up of mental health patients, as they journey to the West Coast of Ireland. Along their way, they share with us their experience of psychosis, a mental illness where a person perceives the world in a different way. The journey shows us that no matter how extraordinary an experience might be, reality will eventually come calling.
