IN THIS EPISODE…
Robin Williams was a man who was beloved by millions. He was an entertainer who had an impact on a generation of children from his roles in movies like Aladdin, Jack, Flubber, Jumanji and Ms. Doubtfire. On August 11th, 2014, Williams killed himself...or at least that's what we've been lead to believe. In the new documentary, Robin's Wish, Williams' widow, Susan Schneider, debunks the media's narrative on Robin's last few years. Throughout the film, filmmakers sit down with those who knew him intimately. As well as those who understand the condition and the neurology behind the disease. Prepare yourself for the true. Robin's Wish is available on all major digital platforms beginning September 1st, 2020.
