Synopsis
Early investigative report on the Idaho state hospitals. Interviews with psychiatrists and doctors particularly about the issue of mental and geriatric care. Natural lighting and overexposed light entering through windows gives the mental hospital footage an expressive unearthly quality. Rows of sterile hospital beds. Good footage of early geriatric treatment in hospitals.

It appears they had some of the inmates do the filming....horrible lighting of the shots and the sound is dreadful. Camera moves about too much as well.
