Experiencing Interruptions?

El vecino del PH del barrio al manicomio

The psychotic outbreak of a neighbor of the City of Buenos Aires, disseminated by the media, shows the crisis of Mental Health in Argentina. Crisis that manifests itself in the confinement, the madhouse, medicalization, corporate resistance to change, the privatization of health and ignorance of these problems in the population as a whole.
The film is built from those public scenes and the narration of those who lived in the same building.
From interviews with different professionals we can understand that another Mental Health is possible.
