DocumentaryThis short documentary, and cut down social edit, explores the issue of institutionalisation, shedding light on its impact through real-life experiences. Over approximately five minutes, the film presents key facts about institutionalisation alongside deeply personal interviews with individuals who have been directly affected. These interviews provide a powerful, firsthand perspective on how institutional settings can strip people of autonomy, dignity, and the right to independent living. By combining factual insights with emotional testimonies, the documentary aims to raise awareness, challenge perceptions, and advocate for a human-rights-based approach to care and support.
