Ep. 368/ Lucy Winer, Filmaker.

Beyond Well with Sheila Hamilton

This is a "No Stone Unturned" episode we recorded in 2019 with filmaker Lucy Winer. On June 21, 1967, at the age of 17, Lucy Winer was committed to the female violent ward of Kings Park State Hospital following a series of failed suicide attempts. Over 30 years later, now a veteran documentary filmmaker, Lucy returned to Kings Park for the first time since her discharge. Her meetings with other former patients, their families, and the hospital staff reveal the painful legacy of our state hospital system and the crisis left by its demise. We speak to Lucy about her project "Unlocked stories of mental health care". Enjoy.
