Football, Madness & Me

Each year in Britain, as many as one in five young people will suffer from a mental illness.

But now three sufferers are about to embark on an extraordinary new kind of therapy.

Hayley, Adam and Jamal are taking part in a football league where everyone has a mental health problem.

Filmed over a whole year, both on the pitch and off, Football, Madness & Me is the story of these three courageous young people and their attempts to turn their lives around. Can football really help them recover?
