This episode is all about Director, Juliana Maité & Lead Actor Marietere Vélez new film "Without Prescription."

Olivia suffers from OCD, a mental condition that manifests itself through a voice in her head that compels her to brush her teeth constantly. During Christmas Eve festivities in Barranquitas, Puerto Rico, the voice comes back after being dormant for a year. Not having Health Care, she desperately searches for the pills that will control her OCD without a prescription. Through her friend Jessica, who she met years ago in a mental institution, she meets David, the town’s pharmacist’s son, who agrees to sell her the pills. Trapped inside David’s apartment by a rainstorm, two strangers start uncovering truths about each other and start a healing process that doesn’t necessarily involve pills.

Art started his police career in California and then became the police chief here in Austin, TX, Houston, TX, and Miami before he retired. Art shares with us what it was like being an immigrant from Cuba when he was young and a few traumatic events that shaped his life and led him to become an advocate for mental health in the police department.
