Titicut Follies - The Silencing Of Suffering:
This week's video essay examines Frederick Wiseman's controversial but always insightful, significant documentary, Titicut Follies. A bleak observation into the Bridgewater State Hospital for the "criminally insane," Wiseman's camera chronicles the injustices that patients are made to experience, as well as the poor conditions of the hospital. This is an important documentary illustrating the reasoning why mental health must be properly cared for.

Brief edit: a few commenters have highlighted that Bridgewater still remains open, I apologise for this inaccuracy making it into the final video.
