How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A relentless, unflinching observational documentary that traps you inside an institution where human dignity is systematically eroded. This is not entertainment, it's a confrontation with the brutality and systematic dehumanization embedded in a supposedly rehabilitative system.
