I had a friend who was involuntarily committed, he was accused of a violent crime he did not commit, spent three years in a full blown psych ward, after DNA evidence proved him innocent he was released into his grandfather's care, his grandfather was the nicest man you'd ever meet, and I remember him saying, they took the boy out of his body and put it in a specimen jar, he looked after my friend for seven years and when he passed away my friend basically reverted to hospital life, he lived in his room with the door closed and became very violent if anybody tried to open his door or asked him to come out, it was truly fucking gut wrenching and very disturbing to see how someone can be altered that way, he passed away in 2019 from health complications, and I still think of him often, very much miss that man, only wish he could have gotten more help.
That is so sad.
So many cases like that its shocking!
Mental health treatment with long-term anti-psychotics can be very harmful, it's really not a good approach in my opinion.
wow im sorry i feel pain for your story, big love xx
I've been in a few mental hospitals, I must admit that it saved me from myself, I really needed help, being suicidal and addicted to drugs, was also a kleptomaniac.
The Even Scarier part - This IS Exactly What is happening in regular Hospitals & “Rehabilitation”facilities ALL Over USA!
I’ve witnessed it with my own eyes 🤬
Thank you for saying this. I can't tell if people genuinely don't know that people suffering from mental health issues are still demonized and mistreated or if they don't care. Everyone acts like this was in the past.
Nursing homes too
Me too! It is herendous and when you report it it gets swept under the rug. It is heart breaking
The keywords being ITS HAPPENING NOW
The most cowardly form of whistleblowing is an unsupported claim. Hope you got the attention you wanted. Go get help.
Clearly the sickest ppl in this hospital are the staff 😒
Not a lot has changed, especially in the mental health section. As someone who worked in a hospital for a while, I've heard the nurses and psw's say some pretty terrible things about people in their care when they think no one is around to hear them.
In ANY hospital even regular ones.
The sickest people in society are also the government. The world is run by evil people. At times I wonder who really won.. god or satan
At around 10:25 the man arguing with the doctor sounds more competent than the doctor. Of course you can't diagnose a person from just a few sentences but it's still disappointing that nobody really listens to him.
Was that that generations version of covaids? Where folks were forced according to medical “professionals”. Things that make u go hmmmm
Totally
People shouldn’t be diagnosing other people at all IMO. Let alone with a sentence
When I was a teen I went to a Psych ward after lashing out and was diagnosed with schizophrena which now as an adult was a misdiagnosis.
@@TravellerZasha .....or was it?
This is what I remember. My biological mother was institutionalized between 1977-1983 more on than off. My adoptive mom, her sister, would take me to visit her when I was 4-5 years old until I went to my adoptive dad and told him the stuff I was seeing. That stopped really fast. But what I remember was horrifying. She had ECT many times. We would visit her after a session and my biological mom wouldn't recognize me and it was just messed up.
If you don't mind me asking could you tell me what ECT is please. If it is too painful too talk about then just ignore my question and accept my apologies for the intrusion.
@@bryannicholls200I'm not the op but it's electric convulsive therepy. The electrocute you into a seizure, which is supposed to calm your demeanor overall. It's still sometimes used today for drug resistant depression but sedatives are used and the patient consents. Back in the day there were no sedatives and no consent
Do you mean that they stopped the visits after you confided in them, or that the abuse stopped at that time?
I'm so sorry you went through that and my heart aches for your mom💔
Those facilities did more harm than good - if they did any good at all!!!
@@shanelandis7193 Thank you for explaining this to me i appreciate it. To the OP once again i apologise for my question and if it brought up any uncomfortable memories from your past.
I’m so sorry that you experienced such traumatic events as a child. Your aunt probably thought she was doing a good thing by letting you see your real mom. I’m glad your uncle stopped the visits. Back then, hospitals were ignorant and abusive, kind of like today. These places still run the same way. I hope you have made some peace with the trauma and can have happiness in your life. Thank you for sharing, I know that’s hard to do with something so personal. ❤
The most horrifying thing about this is that this is how they're acting while knowingly being filmed. I don't think I want to know what happened when the cameras were gone.
*filumed
@@JGB_Wentworth yep! "fill uh, ming" is how "he"(she/he/they/bots) are "pronouncing"("MISS"pronouncing! )... "filming"/Filming... and F I L M as... fill 'em.
Me neither. 😮
@@JGB_Wentworth. Hello. That irritated the hell out of me!
I know what you mean. I’m sure the patients don’t seem aware.
That awful that they wouldn’t even give them hospital gowns.
This was absolutely shocking and sick. Reminds me when I was 13 (I was abused by teachers, it left a mark, I was a little anti authority for good reason) this psychiatrist that I call Hannibal lector threw me in a loonie bin and told me if I don’t behave I’ll stay, he has full control of me. I’m a paranoid schizophrenic(yea he could diagnose schizophrenia at the ripe age of 13), nobody would believe me, only he could sign me out the hospital. That’s almost verbatim of what he told me, and mind you I was 13…. I’m almost 40 and I am terrified of doctors ever since.
dude its absolutely sick how people will treat someone if they have a physical or mental disability, acting as if people with disabilities ARENT people?? they are born with these disorders they cant do anything to change that like really what is wrong with you?
@@RizzyDaGoat
No you dont get it.
They ARE THE MENTAL ONES!!!
Sorry to hear you were treated like that and suffered all that abuse..... I hope you on some peace in your life now xxx
Yeh you can diagnose schizophrenia at 13.
The Dr , I suspect abused his position and training , with you .
From your description of him , he had narcassistic & sadistic tendency's , and should not have been allowed to practice .
Much like you , I do not like some Drs , who drop their facades and show their true selves - these ones , get push back and one is inviting legal action .
Allopathic medicine , for myself , isn't the greatest thing out , so I've learned about Naturopathy and Iridology , along with Homeopathy and the like , and use these practices in preference to Allopathic Remedy's where possible . Holistic medicine , which covers the practices named , work well, as do the newer Flower Essences . I've not had side effects from any of them , ND have surprised medical doctors several times , by adjusting certain numbers down , which they expected to keep going up .
I Trust your health , improves more than it is at present , and you are able to figure out the right way for you to fix it - "ask , and you will receive" .
I used to work in one of these kind of institutions (or what to call them?) 40 yrs ago in Finland. What went on, up this modern era (beginning of the 80's ) inside those walls was disturbing to a point sometimes where it was truly difficult to separate sometimes (a lot of the time) who the sane were from the insane. The head Psychiatrist turned up maybe once a month for a day or two, and she was like directly out of some movie like The hunger games. ( Could have been easily written in to that script as Snow's wife or something) It was SUCH bizarre place to work, and it was my first real job, starting at 18 yrs old.
The experience of that place has left its mark on me for life.
I saw this movie in 1969 when I was in graduate school for social work and serving a 9 month internship at a very large ,very old state hospital. We students and staff were all shocked at what we saw. Our institution had modern therapy techniques and a history of changing and improving over time. Patients are usually treated with respect and listened to. Improvement had Patients released to the community. As students, the film seemed to represent how mental health institutions functioned in the past, decades ago. And to show us how the system could be abused and how mental health was scary to the public, so enough money was rarely provided for the life style and treatment that ill people needed.
@blu4085 Oh interesting, as a Finn who works in the field today I would like to know more if you tell what you saw 40 years ago?
I can relate
I was put in Hyvinkää psych ward 4 years ago with completely restricted from outer world. Couldnt even go out for a cigarette. Just a ventilated box. I didnt experience physical violence, but the nurses were horrible. They didnt take anything i told serious and had a funny look when i spoke. Once i slept through food time and they gave me nothing because "my fault". Also i asked if my dad could bring me vitamines, smokes, candy etc and i got laughed at. I dont wish that to anybody
@@koukutus3272 Baphomet is no good man, no wonder demons are torturing you
Great video! I've been in psych wards on multiple occasions as a teen and an adult and one thing that never seemed to change is that almost none of the staff will actually listen to you so seeing that moment caught on camera was pretty crazy.
As have i, and it DOES suck. On the OTHER hand, at least in the 90s they'd ATTEMPT to treat you for a couple weeks (without an icepick), but they cut funding so much in Texas that you've pretty well got to BEG to stay longer than overnight, and even then, you're out of there within 72 hours. You'll finally get treated in JAIL, when you DO something crazy. They refuse to treat us, and then warehouse us.
Yeah, there's a well-documented bias in these settings that leads to even mentally healthy people who seem sound of mind being labelled as lying or delusional, because the staff assume there must be something wrong with them.
I can't remember the name, but an American psychologist ran an experiment in which he sent test subjects to a mental hospital to fake illness and then tell the staff they felt better. He didn't tell the hospital he'd done this, and the majority of subjects were institutionalized and kept that way even after reporting feeling better.
When he later told the hospital about it and that he was going to send more fakers, but actually didn't, they still institutionalized the same rate of people. Point being, even professionals misdiagnose at an astounding rate. This isn't to call out people in the field, most of whom are honest and want the best for their patients, but it shows that they unfortunately do make mistakes that can have terrible consequences.
@@WK-47 yup.. i was sent to one for 3 days..prolonged to 9. i said i was fine and they kept me there..i just needed a cpap machine and more sleep basically.
I trust no one blindly, some of these dr are completely useless
I worked in a mental facility, and I only lasted three days as a nurse, I remember going home crying to my mother and telling her what I saw and that I was not going to return. They do abuse the patients, and some of the staff look just as crazy. I remember being lost and walking in on a Dr and some nurses shocking a patients head, and the patient was crying one of the nurses yelled at me and told me to get F out of there. I ended up reporting everything to the state. I went on to get my CLS and run my own lab now. Last I heard, they closed that facility down for good. It takes a special person to work in certain departments, like a mental facility or a burn unit. It's a horrible experience to witness.
Thank you for reporting what you knew!
A lot of abuses happened in mental hospitals and I was a witnesses. They ruined my ex girlfriend.
I’ve seen stuff like this too
Is she getting better? I've been to a mental hospital for s$icide attempt. I had nightmares for a year after that.
She’s a skitzo she was prob there for a good reason
@@pofunowtf?
Lol no disrespect are you sure it wasn't you that out her in there lol
I grew up in Peabody, MA and Jim was a frequent fixture in our city in the 1980’s/1990’s. He would walk the streets and talk to himself. My father was extremely nice to him and would always talk with him so I clearly remember him as a small child. He had a very unique look and was very tall. I found him to be kind and pleasant. Poor Jim never had a chance.
So heartbreaking that they were pretty much being punished for something that's beyond their control. At the same time, the state would never shell out the funds to put them in a country club. Terrible situation all around. I pray things have improved 🙏
You serious!?! Soooo being treated as a basic human with dignity…..giving them clean rooms and food and all That….in YOUR dubiously educated opinion….is somehow claiming is like a country club? Wtf. That’s a disgusting way too at it. They didn’t WANT or ASK for that level of care and you DAMN WELL KNOW IT. Unbelievable BS. 🙄🤡🚌
Well the state shut these facilities down
Their on the streets. They shut them ALL down!!
Things are worse lmao
They're.
Very timely post- I've been considering the beyond urgent need for mental hospitals at this point in history. However- places like this are the exact reason that asylums have fell into disfavor.
Thanks for sharing!
Care homes and psychiatric facilities are well worth it as long as they're properly funded, the stays are fairly short term and the care is of a very high standard. They should be conducted with frequent and heavy oversight. I've been to a good one before for a short period of time and it saved my life. I've also been to a bad one, albeit nowhere near as bad as this. They're almost two completely institutions
ive been to Broughton state hospital i saw a list of things used to be imprisened
anyhow self abuse,Onanism could damn sure land you there,
Yes, after learning big pharma was the main proponent in shutting these down it makes me highly suspicious of their true motives.
I agree, the world needs mental illness hospitals and asylums more than ever before in history, with so much mentall illness all around us and movies and news and schools pushing it on us and our children, the world is one big asylum it seems.
Great content sir, you’re giving light to the people that didn’t got it on time and the person that worked so hard yet was denied by their own government.

Thank you for diving deeper on this subject. I had seen it and also had a ton of questions I thought would never be answered. You satisfied my curiosities and I appreciate it. Job well done, love your channel!
You know who always seemed to make sense to me? My partner for over 11 years.
Sadly, someone who is legitimately mentally unwell can sound and appear very sane a lot of the time. Something like schizophrenia can be hard to pick up when someone is lucid. Mental hospital abuse is disgusting, and shouldn't happen. Some people need to be housed in them for their safety and others unfortunately. Its sad that people who actually need help find it hard to get because so many psychiatric hospitals have been shut down over the years because of abuse and misuse of funds.
i hope one day instead of saying someone is "crazy" we can recognise that there is far more to the world then meets the eye,
some people just have a lot more to deal with and the view of what is real and what is not has rotten our society more then almost any other factor.
i shudder to think how many people could have had a decent life if the way we treated these sorts of things dint break so many people
did you know schizophrenia in india is almost always heard as kind helpful voices? i would think there is a reason for the difference
@higamerXD conversely, we HAVE to have an agreed upon view of reality, or everything becomes subjective. Just because someone sees and believes something doesn't make it true. If 9 million people see something and believe it, chances are far better that it's true. Concensus is the only way a society can function properly.
the whole UFO phenomena has shown us how much damage that can do to people who see things just a bit too early, will we ever know how many people died or where judged for a view of reality that one day will be seen as the consensus? while you are right i shudder to think how many have already lived a life of pain from viewing things in a way that in those day's was seen as not real, even tho now we know already just how much more there is to the world.
in my opinion, while you are right this is not a way of functioning compatible with a good and kind world, i hope we one day can move away from this way of creating what is true and not
@@theSemiChrist
@@theSemiChrist yes, it could be argued that societies can only be formed in the first place if there's a consensus view on reality. Perhaps that's one of the reasons Western society today is so divided, because there's a real lack of such consensus. It'll get worse before it gets better, but it will get better.
@@Steve_Sharpe i very much agree with you i will say, but on the other hand medicating the "unreal" out of people is in itself also doing harm. while you may not believe in spirits that does not mean they care about that.
i really really shudder to think what the implications are if the UAP disclosure program is successful.
who is to say what is real or not? why do we people feel we know all about that? i agree that we know much and do many thing right when it comes to mental heath but the harm that comes from thinking certain things are not real when they are as tangible as you and me has no positive effects.
what will it mean for people if it turns out one *can* hear voices from things non corporeal? i agree that there are people with problems but a lot of influences are not caused by the things we think of. even if we have *solutions* for these problems in a lot of cases the long term effects are still poorly studied. i agree a lot of meds are good but a lot of people could have an even better life with a significantly different interpretation and relation around that which one cant touch
Mental hospitals and prisons can be horrendous places with inhumane treatment and abhorrent conditions….
Jimmy Saville was aloud to actually LIVE at Broadmoor mental hospital in England which he used as his personal sex den where he would s.a. the inmates at will,all with the blessings of staff because he brought so much charity money to the hospital…..
There are videos of this on TH-cam as well as the overall life of this sicko.
This kind of abuse happened everywhere in the US in those times. I worked in a state mental hospital in the 1970's in Tennessee. The same kind of things you see here was happening there.
They frustrate you so much (and play mental games on you) that you inevitably lose and look crazy for your reaction. Its awful.
The fact the documentary at one point could only be shown for educational purposes explains why one of my high school teachers here in Massachusetts was able to show it to the class. It's equally disturbing today as it was back then
Big fan of your content. Keep up the great work!
I searched out this documentary after seeing your original upload... to say it is disturbing would be an understatement.
I just got through watching Titicut Follies and I found it most interesting. To clarify, the guy hosting, and singing at the talent show at the beginning and the end of the movie, as well as in the birthday scene was a guard named Eddie (with a flair for showmanship), and not the superintendent. I was curious about this and researched it. The superintendent was a man by the name of Charles W. Gaughan, who was the super from 1959 - 1985. He may or may not have been in the movie, but there are pics of him online...
My great uncle was in Eloise because he had a “ nervous breakdown “ my mother talks about how nice the gardens were that they sat in to visit together. My great grandmother died from Tuberculosis and my grandmother, her daughter told me that they hid her mother in a small room in their attic so that the doctors and police wouldn’t come to their home and take my great grandmother to the closest asylum. They took a lot of people to those asylum’s because they said Tuberculosis was so contagious and they left them in rooms to die. She died a year later with her family around her instead of one of these horrible places.
I watched this doc a few years ago, and damn, it has stuck with me
The injustice is enough to ruin a good day. May those men who suffered and/or died in this hellish, place rest in peace.
Having been "sectioned" I can tell ya the folks yer dealin with (especially staff) can be truly horrible; it's FAR worse than prison!
My great grandmother and I lived in the same mental institution. She in 1950 and I was there 2006/2021.
This mistreated/straight out torture isn't changed in the slightest.
It is here well known that most people that are forced in mental institutions are never getting out. The handfull of people that get out are left with scars for life.
Real hero, rip & god bless to all those souls. They are no longer down here on hell of a earth. Great commentary & video bruh
I live 15 mins from Bridgewater. All the state hospitals were like this, unfortunately. Suffer the little children is an eyeoperning one too. About Pennhurst
It’s so weird how they’re always naked, as if that’s ok or normal. It’s insane how the ppl that run these places treat ppl. They actually seem mentally unwell if they find all this ok or normal in any way
Thank you for reviewing this documentary with the dignity it deserves. I've always hated seeing people post about Titticut Follies just to go "WOW it's so WEIRD!" but it's a genuinely horrifying look into what the post-war mental health industry was like. People were herded into these facilities and just treated as free-range behavioural guinea pigs, if not outright experimented on. And you're right, it's an alarming thing to think about how the hospital staff were on their "best behaviour" back then...
I had to stay in a behavioural hospital when I was a teenager, and although there wasn't much physical abuse, there's still a lot of issues. I could write a book on what I saw, and another book on simple reforms that would solve a lot of issues. When I was there, I was just another source of profit.
When the host says "fillamaking" instead of "film making"
Good recap. I always thought that superintendent or whatever he was was one of the most malevolent looking figures in film history.
Love the video!!!
pretty sure film is one syllable tho.
This is like if an AI watched 7000 hours of TH-cam video essays and then made its own channel
It's interesting to me how you often mention staff smoking. To modern eyes doctors smoking around patients is shocking. When I was a child in the 80's people smoked everywhere all the time. Smokers never considered anyone else and society permitted it as so many people smoked back then. No one watching this at the time in the 60's would have even thought this odd.
I have seen this very movie. I know you haven't shown all of the scenes as many have imprinted in my mind as if I've just seen it. One specific was how they showered the inmates. They were nearly always naked as well and that was not censored. I know I saw it sometime late 60s. What it's strange is this is possibly the only other time I've seen it and this is a cut down version.
You know the word "Film" is only one syllable right?!
Ive been to the psych ward in three different states. They treat you really terribly. They get paid shit money. Same with nursing homes. Two predatory businesses.
You never insert a naso gastric tube in when the patient is lying down, the liquid would go into the lungs
Yes, and if you notice in the next scene, it showed that same patient’s body being placed in the morgue.
That sequence was most likely the film director’s way of revealing that he was a first hand witnesses to a m*rder but feared repercussions for exposing it directly by objecting or saying something out loud.
See! This is why I like very, very, very few humans. You give someone the opportunity and they won’t disappoint; their evil will bloom.
It should still be possible to name the Superintendent. You should look into that and try to find out his identity.
PHIL-em
I had a Great Aunt, my Grandmother’s sister who was institutionalized all during my childhood. Poor Aunt Alma, she had to be placed in “The Home For Incurables.” I would go with my mother and grandmother, and I will never forget children of my age, 9-12yo coming up to me and asking me for something that I could not understand. To say the least, these visits left a huge impression on me.
Sorry but are you saying "Fillim" and "Fillim making"?!
I saw that documentary. How heartbreaking 💔
The doctors today still treat the patients with distrust. If you try to explain what is happening one on one time you are called a preacher and ignored. Flooded by over medicating this still happens.
I watched this and taped it when it came out on PBS in 1990? It is unreal.
1992, Germany, some children's ward 12-18 years old, I was there for 8 months. Same circular arguments with doctors and emotional cruelty. How can you proof your sanity to a sociopathic doctor out for keeping his patients? Chemical lobotomy is a thing. Many of my peers never got out of the system. I survived. I was kicked out for literally and figuratively setting the place on fire and lots of other damage I caused. I rebelled. I was 14 years old. I flew over the cuckoo's nest.
Thank you for this, if only to be taken as a warning. 😢
I knew places/people like this existed, but damn. Another great video as always!!
I remember flying as a kid & we would be in the "no smoking" section, as the tube was filled up with smoke. Everybody was smoking. Good times. Peace
When i went to the mental hospital, they had a sheet you fill out where you put all your triggers. These were used against us. Kids were having panic attacks and being restrained. Kids would argue that the staff was antagonizing them, and they were tackled. Some kids were even encouraged to harm themselves. Whenever someone was disorderly, they were sent to "the quiet room". An empty siund proof room, where you have no idea how long youll be there. I have derealization, but as far as my doctors have told me, theres no real diagnosis because it can be linked ti my depression. So when i asked for the time and they wouldnt tell me, i told them my condition, and they said no. I kept asking the time because if i lost my sense of time, i would freak out. They threatened to send me to the quiet room. The longer i was there, the worse i got. I said i wanted out, that i couldnt get better there, and they wanted to take my mother to court in order to keep me there. My mother threatened to make a police report, that made them let me out.
Never thought I'd hear film pronounced with two syllables.
It's a common thing with an Irish accent. It happens to me, too.
Fil-lum is also how about 6 different Scottish accents pronounce it as well
@@Y3ntiLS0uP cool
I know, I don’t think I can watch this.
@@Y3ntiLS0uPexcept this man doesn’t have a Scottish or Irish accent. He’s American and it’s giving me anxiety
In the 1960s, psychiatry was still in its infancy. People didn't really actually know how to handle stuff, and hospitals like Bridgewater were basically just places to warehouse people that they didn't know what else to do with.
Almost every serial killer spent time in mental hospitals. Many of them actually went to the same military hospital in Germany on the army base. Many of them were violent sex offenders and served one or two years in prison for terrible crimes against kids and were let back out.
This is a very interesting “Phillem”
Interesting way of pronouncing "film", it sounds Irish. The only word that sticks out as Irish. Is the narrator Canadian? I'm just curious where that pronunciation originated?
Fascinating and shocking ... as I comment, I am the 667th comment (666 as I view it). It's also fascinating that you pronounce the word film as "philim".
Once during psychosis I was taken to the hospital. The only thing in the room was a slab of concrete they strap you down with. I remember hearing the doc say we have to send her too a different hospital but hours away. I tried to explain I had no way home. They told me to be quiet and tried to shut the door with only opened from the outside. I was terrified and tried to keep it open. Next thing I know I'm fighting for my life. It's on video. I fought 5 grown men for 15 minutes but didn't go down. They ripped my clothes off and left. I say 15 minutes and they came back in and made me get against the wall. One of them got in my ear and whispered " your gonna listen now little girl" then I broke his jaw. The others fought me til they got me on the slab and forced my chin to touch my chest I thought he was going to kill me. I was really scared. Beyond scared. I had bruising and scratches all over. I was in horrible pain emotionally and physically.. never been back to that hospital and do my best to not go to any hospitals.. I really thought they were trying to kill me. 😢
I watched this film with amazement... I was amazed by the fact that as is often said... perhaps it is the doctors and those who direct everything who have problems, not those who are locked up and filled with tranquilizers and every type of drug that turns them into automatons... today I see that patients are not treated in the ways of the 60s but are always filled with every type of drug that like a vicious circle transforms them into what they were not initially... so not much has changed in the end... As I watched the superintendent sing, it occurred to me that he could very well be considered a patient, in this case a real patient with real problems.
What's seems even more horrifying is watching this film and "feeling it" as being "a regular movie", scripted and such. And then, putting it in THAT perspective, OMG! This movie is so Very TRUE! The "patients" are me and you(general public) and those "Keepers Of Order" are politicians and police and other "adherents" of/unto The "Propaganda Masters"(FOR the money). So, THIS movie IS "true" from the inside out. Thanks For Sharing!
Hell. THAT is WHY "they banned it"!!! People seeing and accepting THIS "Truth" would then be able to "utilize" THIS "story" as a "Parable" into/unto "THEIR" Very LIVES sss... back to sleep now boy.
...love the effort but the narrator's repeated mispronunciation of the word "film" is ...disturbing.
There is still some atrocities out there… I’ve done my times in the bin… some of the most beautiful, abused (why I was hospitalized), BRILLIANT people I had the privilege to meet… and some power struggles that completely made my heart/brain hurt… nothing like this horror… but the same ENERGY behind it… (devils advocate: the staff I was under were wonderful)…
Why does he say "filmm" ?
He is from Irland.
I had an uncle that died in one those psychiatric hospitals
I watched the full video here on TH-cam a few years ago..I urge every US citizen to watch it.
Im in massachusetts,ive been inpatient hospitalized and things like this still happen daily,westwood lodge was recently closed because of stuff like this
God.. This moved me to tears of anguish.. I'm just speechless about the injustice and the stolen opportunities that could have made things better for all those inmates..
But it brings to mind that, for the disadvantaged and less fortunate in society. America has never been the land of the free.. not as long as censorship of the truth continues.. and it's still going on.. although the internet has allowed more freedom of expression, as long as the venues that show these videos can arbitrarily censor anything for any reason, we still have the same problem....
Sadly our country doesn't handle mental illness well unfortunately.
The Guy pleading his case is what I remember most about seeing this years back. Very Disturbing. Also Check out the Bull Street Asylum Documentary similar to this but is a bit more Jarring.
They claim that this video was banned until the early 90s. Not true, When I was a kid, I saw it late night on a local PBS station around 1981. This film scared the crap out of me. Some of the people running this institution were slightly off themselves. I saw it again when TCM aired it about 18 months ago. This is a hard film to watch.
I live in mass and was a drug addict for 10 years I never went to Bridgewater because it was a dual diagnoses hospital but a lot of my friends did. I had no idea about its history
Thats why mental health is never taking seriously, and its the system that causes all the mental health problems ,you cant beat the system so we just go with the flow.
So many total sane people got stuck in these terrible psych wards and being there for so long along with the medication makes them eventually go insane. What a sad time.
I was sadly in one bc of PTSD....and it just kept on getting worse than any better, I also got randomly attached and have nerve damage......I'm forever mest up from it...
Why are you adding an extra syllable to the word “film” 😟
The government and these evil guards should face the full force of laws and punishments. If the people are dead the burden should be put on their family. it is probably the only way to get real justice and to help prevent these things from happening again and again .
I couldn't finish this because of the way dude says "film."
The superintendent looks like he should be a patient
Those "doctors" appear to be on drugs...especially ol' blinky! 😮
so what -- they smoked. we used to have freedom to do things like that. good guys smoked too
Nothing about smoking whilst doing a medical procedure sounds like a bad idea to you?
De institutionalization has not worked either. In my job I get calls every week from members of the public who have a family member or partner who is seriously mentally ill and doesn’t want help. There is almost no way to get that person treated
I love documentary fillums
These people that did this to these people should be judged as war crimes or of that level. I completely understand what they're doing here and their government should be shamed. And whoever allowed these things to happen. Those who were in play should Go to prison for the rest of their Life.
This case reminds me of the people who suffered adverse reactions of the mandatory mRNA inoculations and were completely ignored by doctors, media and most journalists.
Gotta love watching filums (films)
My goodness, I’d almost put this out of my frontal memory. Since first watching it I’ve since learned much more about the reptiles treating those they consider their cattle.
Unfortunately a lot of these patients did not have family to advocate for them. I hope these patients haunted the doctors in their sleep.
2:55 as a Hospital administrator, I understand how all this craziness seems true. But there were others there with a different perspective. and they are the END GAME.
Ummmm what?
You insane or high
Yeah back then from the mid 19th century to mid 20th century, asylums/rehabilitation centers were very wacked & unorganized. Staff and guards treating the inmates like they were dirt, no means of supportive therapy for the inmates, and just madness. Glad Wiseman shedded light and exposed truth to this place.
They banned this movie because it showed the truth.
My grandpa got ECT when he got back from the war. He saw things that gave him flashbacks so he was sent to mental hospital he would hide in the closet scream only he knows what he saw and what he went through.
The window isn’t barbed it’s glass with internal metal grating …. It’s amazing film
OMG. these poor men, i feel so bad for them. That man that was arguing his case but ignored , just made me mad. He sounded like he knew what was going on.
can we talk about how evil the superintendent looks
