This particular issue may be seen in a sense as controversial however it is very significant to put this issue further into the spotlight although it may have some coverage I do want to focus on young black individuals in particular considering over the past years according to such resources recently such as the NHS according to them the is a high increase of mental health within the African and Caribbean communities in comparison to other ethnic groups.By doing a documentary about this will not solely raise an important awareness, it will act as an educational tool to the wider society and also benefit the communication within black families about sensitive topics such as this.

This would be a particularly challenging project Patrician. Putting this issue into a full and true context will in itself require grace, truth and love and probably needs to go far beyond the so called 'clinical empiricalism' of the woefully incognacent psychiatric chemical cosh industry mostly deployed by the NHS and other establishments. There's more quackery in mental health presumptions than in Dr Baches excelled flower remedies.
It's not clear from your post what you're trying to achieve though. You're asking for a "camera crew"; does that mean you already have a script, a director and a budget? Or are you just throwing an idea into the ring but don't know how documentaries are made?
In any event it could be a profoundly worthwhile project on several levels. Doubt it could be done any real justice though without proper funding.
