Description:
Many American children and teenagers, regardless of their background, struggle with mental disorders like schizophrenia, autism, and emotional problems. This often leads to social isolation and treatment in mental health facilities. However, these young people face ongoing challenges within inadequate institutions, where they encounter obstacles and mistreatment from inexperienced and uncaring staff. The documentary explores public and private mental institutions caring for troubled youth, exposing flaws in their procedures and the lasting damage they inflict on patients.
