“Busy Inside” tells the true story of Karen and Marshay, two women with Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID). Karen Marshall is a respected therapist who treats patients with DID, the condition of having multiple personalities often resulting from child abuse. Among her patients is Marshay, a biracial musician, who sometimes struggles to believe that she really has DID. The film works to return dignity to those with DID and bring better understanding of it through an honest portrayal of people who live with it every day and giving audiences a direct window into their inner world.
