“If you haven’t seen a film entitled A Sister’s Call  by Rebecca Schaper and Klye Tekiela you need to watch it. It is one of the most honest and moving documentaries that I’ve had the privilege of watching.”

"...  an incredibly profound documentary that addresses how mental illness was viewed and handled in the past, while concurrently exploring current treatment methods and the long road to recovery...  this tale of inspiration and triumph proves to be an emotional journey that transcends its challenging subject matter."
