Article here. Excerpt:

'LITCHFIELD - — In advance of its premiere on HBO, a new documentary about teen suicide will be shown July 25 at Bantam Cinema in Litchfield, with the directors in attendance.

"Boy Interrupted" is about Evan Scott Perry, who committed suicide at his home in New York City in 2005, at the age of 15, after a lifetime of battling bipolar disorder. His parents took years' worth of home-movie footage and edited together a chronicle of their troubled boy's life, which included treatment at Wellspring, a facility in Bethlehem.

Sheila Nevins, HBO executive producer, and Dana and Hart Perry will attend, as will representatives from Wellspring.'
