Titicut Follies

TITICUT FOLLIES is a documentary film that tells you more than you could possibly want to know -- but no more than you should know -- about life behind the walls of one of those institutions where we file and forget the criminal insane... A society's treatment of the least of its citizens -- and surely these are the least of ours -- is perhaps the best measure of its civilization. The repulsive reality revealed in TITICUT FOLLIES forces us to contemplate our capacity for callousness.
