A BIPOLAR EXPEDITION on More4

True Stories: A Bipolar Expedition follows Paul Downes - a successful businessman with bipolar disorder whose manic highs are followed by depressive lows.   Now he wants a wife - a soul mate and someone to care for him – and has hired a castle in Jamaica, inviting 12 Ukrainian women to join him, in the hope that one will marry him.

The director, Mark James, follows Paul on his 2009 trip to Jamaica, and gives a rare insight into Paul’s bipolar disorder – exploring its origins and the impact that the manias and depressions have had on his life. However the most extraordinary aspect of the film is capturing Paul in the grip of a manic episode, as his interest in finding a wife dwindles and his attention turns to taking over the world.

Filmed, Directed and Edited by Mark James.
