'Bipolar &
The English
Channel'

May 27 and 28, 2023
Mary D. Fisher Theatre, Sedona
The Sedona International Film Festival, with support from Health First Foundation, presented the one-woman show "Bipolar & The English Channel," written and performed by Julie Ridge. The story tells how Ridge, once a casual mile-a-day pool swimmer, became an English Channel swimmer and record-making marathon athlete. It recounts how she woke up one not-so-fine day floridly manic, locked down in an unforgiving psychiatric ward, and culminates with her arduous journey back to a fulfilling life.
