In the documentary "Last Day of Freedom," Bill Babbitt tells the story of his brother Manny, who struggled with mental illness after an accident and two tours in Vietnam. Back from the war, he ended up on the streets and diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia. His brother Bill tried to protect him and took him in until he learned Manny had murdered an elderly woman in Sacramento. Bill wrestled with what to do. He decided to put his trust in the criminal justice system and turned him in. San Francisco Filmmakers Dee Hibbert-Jones and Nomi Talisman created an animated documentary that uses only one voice along with spare drawing to tell the deeply affecting story.
