ABOUT THE FILM

BEDLAM directed by Kenneth Paul Rosenberg, M.D.

To get to the bottom of the mental health crisis in the U.S., psychiatrist and documentarian Kenneth Paul Rosenberg M.D. chronicles the personal, poignant stories of those suffering from serious mental illness, including his own family, to bring the scope of the crisis to light and offer possible solutions. Shot over the course of five years, BEDLAM takes viewers inside Los Angeles County’s overwhelmed and vastly under-resourced psych ER, a nearby jail warehousing thousands of psychiatric patients, and the homes — and homeless encampments — of people affected by severe mental illness, where silence and shame often worsen the suffering.
