Based On True Events ..

After consulting with the rest of the group we discovered that the themes we were trying to portray in our trailer were similar to the ones in a book one group member was reading. Reasearch on "Today I'm Alice" lead our group to base the trailer upon certain events that had taken place within the book.

Events such as ..

The split personality,
Abuse from her father,
Elusive dreams and
Alter egos, were all derived from the book its self.

When Alice was a teenager, strange things started happening to her. Hours of her life simply disappeared. She'd hear vocies shouting at her, telling her she was useless. And the nightmares that has haunted her since her early childhood - the terrifying scenes of abuse - became more and more detailed ... more real. Staring at herself in the mirror she'd catch her face changing, as if someone else was looking through her eyes.

In today I'm Alice, she describes her extraordinary journey from a tennage batteling with anorexia and drowning her voices with alcohol, to a young woman losing control to "the children" who had started to appear, growing voices in her head to full blown personalities.

She was finally diagnosed with multiple personality disorder and when her alters were revealed in theraphy she discovered how each on had their own memories of abuse and a full picture of her childhood finally emerged.

Moving and ultimatly inspiring, this is a gripping account of a rare condition, and the remarkable story of a courageous women.
