The end of Robin Williams' life had been completely misunderstood.
A pervasive narrative had taken hold, and it did a disservice to one of the most beloved entertainers of his generation. The film had to change what people believed.
The headlines had settled on depression. The autopsy told a different story: one of the most severe cases of Lewy body disease his doctors had ever seen.
We worked closely with Robin's wife, friends, and care team to uncover what the last year of his life really was. The medical truth, told with intimacy instead of spectacle, became the heart of the film.
To stand behind every claim, we partnered with the Michael J. Fox Foundation, the Lewy Body Dementia Association, the Parkinson's Foundation, and the American Brain Foundation. Rigor was the difference between a tribute and a correction.
