About the book
An estimated 1 in 4 of us will suffer from a mental illness. Those suffering have to face a wall of stigma and stereotyping which often makes their condition worse. Big Brother is an intimate photographic portrait of Louis Quail's older brother, Justin, and his daily struggle with schizophrenia. By showing the person beyond the illness, Big Brother challenges stigma head on. It reveals a system in crisis, but it also discovers important truths on the nature of resilience. At its heart though Big Brother is a love story. The book includes extensive texts to tell Justin's story.
