One of the most powerful and controversial documentaries ever made. Frederick Wiseman’s directorial debut is set inside the Bridgewater State Hospital for the criminally insane. The film offers an unflinching look at the treatment of inmates, exposing a system marked by neglect, cruelty, and dehumanization. Shot in Wiseman’s signature observational style, with no narration or interviews, the film immerses viewers directly in the institution’s daily reality.
