When filmmaker Kathy Leichter moved back into her childhood home after her mother’s
suicide, she discovered a hidden box of audiotapes. Sixteen years passed before she
had the courage to delve into this trove, unearthing details that her mother had recorded
about every aspect of her life from the challenges of her marriage to a State Senator, to
her son’s estrangement, to her struggles with bipolar disorder. HERE ONE DAY is a
visually arresting, emotionally candid film about a woman coping with mental illness, her
relationships with her family, and the ripple effects of her suicide on those she loved.
