This movie has now inspired me to do something about it, and so I don't know. Maybe Today I'll do some more writing. Anyway, it was a great film Yesterday.
Have you ever watched a movie that just made you want to pick up a pen and start writing? That's exactly what happened to Liz Smith after watching 'Up There'. In this episode of 'Alcoholism, Bipolar Disorder and Courage to Change', Liz dives into how this film, set in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, ignited her passion for writing and the practice of gratitude.
The movie follows Jack, a journalist from The New York Times, who stumbles upon Emma, a local writer with her own tale of grief and resilience. Their unexpected friendship and shared stories reveal the power of community and personal connection in overcoming life's challenges.
