The Bi Polar Bears

Synopsis

This three part rockumentary follows the journey of a remarkable band, The BiPolar Bears on their search for a lead singer. They’ve gotta be good, they’ve gotta be loud and they’ve gotta be mad.

The band started as a free-for-all music project for people with mental illness run by the City of Port Phillip. 15 years on and the band has some serious goals. They’re a good rock outfit who perform regularly around Melbourne’s mental health scene and like all musicians they dream of hitting the big time.

But they’ve got a problem. Their lead singer, a recovering drug addict, has recovered, cleaned up and moved on. The band hold auditions but finding a singer with a great voice and a mental illness is trickier than they thought.
