Story
A psychiatrist and award-winning documentarian sheds light on the mental-healthcare crisis in the United States.

Public policy has purposefully erected barriers that deny access to basic needs, creating a society where people can easily become trapped - not because we lack the resources to lift them out, but because we are actively choosing not to.
