Screening of 'Voices from within'

This coming Monday, Oct. 19, the Disability Law Center is sponsoring a FREE screening of the documentary "Voices From Within" at the downtown Salt Lake City Public Library (210 East 400 South, SLC, UT 84111).
St. Elizabeth's Hospital - D.C.'s public psychiatric facility.

"Voices From Within" provides a glimpse into a world most people never see—a mental institution housing individuals found "not guilty by reason of insanity.” Cameras were placed directly into the hands of four individuals in ...care: Jimmy, Lew, Kevin and Calvin, who have been residents for a combined 160 years. The film takes us through their daily routines, ongoing struggles with mental illness, isolation, and the seemingly impossible step-by-step process to return to the community.

The screening will be followed by a filmmaker-led Q&A panel of legal and medical experts in the field of mental health.
