one of the many things i find disturbing about this film is…. the inmates/patients are naked! which is the same thing they did at Bedlam hospital in the UK.
ahhhhh I use to work in some lock up institutions….heartbreaking work…..I’ve seen some of this doc….
The majority of the staff were smoking, which was normal for the time….and they had a very ‘us’ and ‘them’ attitude towards the patients…I don’t think the military type uniforms helped either.
i worked as an art therapist…so i was outsider…often i voiced what i saw as injustices to the ppl i worked with…and yes the hierarchies create divisions…ones i didn’t always agree with as an advocate…have a snappy day Gavin! 🙂 smiles
tragic!
