BEDLAM

NYC PREMIERE Director Kenneth Paul Rosenberg exposes the sobering truth behind America’s failure to properly care for the mentally ill over the past half-century. Offering both critical historical context and grounded contemporary profiles of individuals forced to reckon with the ineffectual status quo, from hospital and prison staff to the mentally ill and their families, Bedlam reveals a national crisis that only continues to worsen. Moving, enlightening and enraging in equal measure, the film serves as an urgent wake-up call.
