About the film:
“Bridget and Iain” A mother struggles to accept the man her adult son has become.
Bridget and Iain is the story of a mother’s love for her adult son.
Bridget, who tries to do everything ‘right’, learns the limits of her power to manage others. Her son Iain is charming, funny, and at times kind. He’s also an addict. Worried sick, Bridget finally gets support to make the changes that need to happen.The film charts the shifting relationship between Bridget and Iain as it reaches crisis point. It’s about maturation, change, and the struggle of trying to help someone you love while possibly enabling the very behavior you see as destructive.
Bridget and Iain will resonate with anyone who has experienced the impact of any form of addiction in their lives or who have family members with mental health problems, or challenging relationships.
