Synopsis

Dory Previn: On My Way to Where (2024) is a sensitive documentary about 1970s cult singer-songwriter Dory Previn who received three Oscar nominations for her lyrics and famously went public about her schizophrenia diagnosis. Co-directors Julia Greenberg and Dianna Dilworth bring their respective musical and journalistic backgrounds to this touching documentary that sees Previn as a forerunner of the modern-day neurodiversity movement. Relying on a rich source of archival interviews, performances and Dory’s own journals and memoirs, the two recount Previn's career. This documentary testifies to the need for acceptance of neurodiversity as one solution to addressing the current mental health crisis in the USA and the world.
