Synopsis
At fourteen Ken Steele suddenly began to hear voices which berated him and urged him to kill himself. For the next 34 years the voices were his constant companion as he drifted through the mental-health system and the homeless shelters of America's cities. Finally, with the help of a therapist who found the right combination of medications and helped him stay with his treatment regimen, Steele regained his mental health. The voices stopped. Steele spent the last years of his life as a mental patients' activist, working for the rights of the mentally ill.
