Independent Lens -- Bedlam

[essentialsaltes]

 I am probably the weirdest possible advocate for mental health, since my subject knowledge comes almost entirely from research for role-playing games, but... given what looks like the cruelties of Bedlam centuries ago, or the shock treatments and lobotomies of the early 20th century, at least the doctors were trying to be doctors... the current criminalization of the insane is almost certainly worse in many respects. 90 minutes of often painful reality. Luckily for you, it doesn't seem to be streaming at the moment. But it's well made and affecting.
