· 2010
31m
Director Charles Kiselyak
Starring Dr. Ulista Hoover, Dr. Ulista Brooks, Dr. Arthur E. Tolan, Michael Douglas
Genre Documentary

Psychiatrist Dr. Dean Brooks, who appears in the film One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest, and others discuss how jails and prisons have become our new asylums and how community care, especially inadequately funded community care, is failing to help people. They also discuss the need for what his granddaughter, Dr. Ulista Brooks, describes as “true asylums” — the construction of new modern mental hospitals, and other important issues regarding care for the mentally ill.

We hate to say it, but we can't find anywhere to view this film.
