"The film questions whether hoarding is a symptom of mental illness or a revolt against the material recklessness of consumerism".

"This is a very common and growing problem. If you know anyone who is clearly a hoarder, please try to show them this film. I would be very interested to know how they respond. A feature of the disorder is that people often deny there is a problem".

"It's a very complex problem without a quick fix, but with care and understanding it is possible to get on top of it".

"I am now researching the next stage of the project. I am trying to compile a collection of peoples experiences of OCD and other anxiety based disorders. I have found from experience that although symptoms might be similar, the actual particularities of the obsessions and compulsions are often very varied".
