Pennhurst
My take
A deeply humanizing portrait of institutional life and the fight for dignity. This is the kind of documentary that confronts uncomfortable truths with compassion, told through the voices of those who lived it. Essential viewing that shifts how you think about disability, rights, and what we owe each other.
