This documentary about John Nash of A Beautiful Mind fame is part of PBS' American Experience series. The movie's focus is on mental illness and uses family photographs, interviews with Nash and others, and a blend of archival and re-enacted footage to tell its story. See related story on p.43 of this week's Screens section.
