When Mike spoke to me of his DVD, I had no idea of the scope of his project or how professionally he presented it. I knew Mike in secondary 3 as a student but I am now amazed at how his potential has evolved.

The 80/20 Project sets out to inform the public about mental illness. It accomplishes this end so very effectively through the eyes of Mike Santoro. Only a person living through the experience could depict the triumphs and rejections, the hopes and failures that mental illness brings.

Throughout the DVD, a positive thread runs through and hope springs eternal! Acceptance and patience permeate the narrative. Surely with new medical discoveries, dedicated professionals and understanding and supportive friends and family, as well as with God’s help the immediate future looks brighter.
