Filmmaker Margaret Byrne follows three formerly incarcerated Chicagoans–Angela, Dimitar, and Daniel–as they manage their respective mental illnesses while searching for stability in their families, friendships, jobs, and housing. Over the course of five years, while documenting their rarely seen struggles, Byrne faces her own challenges and reckons with her own history of mental illness. Any Given Day intimately captures the hard-fought triumphs and struggles of living at the intersection of mental illness, poverty, and addiction, providing deeply personal insight into the necessity of caring relationships, especially when life is at its most difficult.

Any Given Day is a participant of Project: Hatched 2022.
