Titicut Follies (1967)

Documentary filmmaker Frederick Wiseman takes us inside the Massachusetts Correctional Institution Bridgewater where people stay trapped in their madness. Titicut Follies portrays the occupants of Bridgewater State Hospital, who are holed up in empty cells and infrequently bathed. It also depicts inmates/patients required to strip naked publicly, force feeding and indifference and bullying by many of the hospital staff. Titicut Follies was the first film to be banned in America for a reasons other than obscenity or national security. It was banned from screening for 24 years.
