Anorexia and Cannibal! The Musical

Welcome to the very first episode of Art That Saved My Life! We are joined today by the always endearing Austin C. Pruett. Austin and Justin discuss their instantaneous connection as roommates in college, Justin's history with mental illness and relapse during their Freshman year, and how the film Cannibal! The Musical offered Justin much needed levity, resonance, and catharsis.

“Cannibal! The Musical tells the true story of the only person convicted of cannibalism in America - Alfred Packer. The sole survivor of an ill-fated trip to the Colorado Territory, he recounts his side of the harrowing tale to news reporter Polly Prye as he awaits his execution.”
