REAL DANGER: Restraints and Our Children (2010)
Directed/Produced by Maryanne Galvin for the Massachusetts Dept. of Mental Health
Since 1999 the Government Accountability Office has issued three shocking reports on death and abuse resulting from restraint and seclusion use. The subjects: NOT terrorist detainees housed at an off-shore detention facility, BUT children and adolescents receiving services in hospitals, juvenile justice settings, residential programs and public and private schools throughout our nation. Real Danger: Kids & Deadly Restraint illuminates the controversial practice of restraint use in a variety of settings. A nuanced, balanced look at to the controversial practice of restraining youngsters in schools and treatment centers in the USA. Weaving animation, original music, intimate first person interviews and hard hitting footage, the film delivers an unexpectedly uplifting portrayal of the strength of the human spirit in some dire circumstances.
