A dynamic and unprecedented look into the Brockville Mental Health Centre, a forensic psychiatric hospital housing people suffering from mental illness who have committed violent crimes.
Four-time Emmy-award winning filmmaker John Kastner (Life with Murder, Four Women) intimately follows the treatment of patients struggling to gain control of their lives under medical and criminal surveillance. This groundbreaking portrait of the everyday lives of constrained forensic patients, once called the criminally insane, offers a view of individuals struggling to gain control of their lives and integrate in a largely hostile society.
