My Crazy Boxers, by Krissy Mahan, 2019, US, 8:46 minutes
Suicidal – or just a working-class gender queer caught in the wrong underpants?
Pixellated fragments slowly materialise in this powerful and distressing video based on actual meetings with hospital staff while in a psychiatric hospital system.
