MEMPHIS, Tenn. — In their powerful documentary “I AM,” filmmakers Jessica Chaney and Amanda Willoughby showed mental health through the eyes of five Memphis women in different stages of life, motherhood, and their careers.

“It just really came out of my own struggles with mental health and starting to reach out into the community, especially the Black community and Black women, around how they were working through issues with their mental health and the challenges that they were having.”
