  • "A documentary that explores the present world of the mentally ill, both in institutions and in adult and group houses in the community. Shows, through interviews and on-location filming, how mental patients lack almost all helping services or facilities and are abandoned to entrepreneurs in the medical and business worlds."@en
  • "Psychiatric patients discharged from the back wards of America's mental institutions find themselves living on large city back streets as hospitals are closed because of funding cutbacks. Only a few community care programs genuinely try to prepare patients for independent living, and ease the process of integrating them back into society."@en
  • "Focuses on the lack of mental health services for persons who have been discharged from state mental institutions. Nationwide community mental health care is examined and the pros and cons of deinsitutionalizatin of mental patients is discussed."@en
  • "Pivotal developments in the care of the mentally ill are traced in interviews with hospitalized patients, mental health workers, and administrators of various programs to investigate the sad situation existing nationwide in community mental health care, and the few positive exceptions."@en
  • "A documentary on the de-institutionalization of mental patients."
  • "When the Supreme Court decreed that mental patients able to live safely in freedom could not be kept in institutions against their will, it was hailed as a humane step forward. They were to return to their communities and receive supportive care. But that support never came through. The patients ended up in back streets all over America. This report follows some of these mental patients. We learn that profitable adult homes have sprung up which are often inadequate and resented by the community. Sometimes former patients are housed in nursing homes converted to locked psychiatric centers. Some communities resort to locking up the mentally ill in jail. Others leave them to wander the streets. There are also examples of successful community treatment programs. It takes money, staff and care, but we see that it can be done."@en
