Giveaway – ‘Unforgotten’ Documentary
Unforgotten was a nightmare that shocked all of America and rocketed Geraldo Rivera to national prominence, when in 1972, with a stolen key, he entered Staten Island’s Willowbrook State School and revealed conditions in which developmentally disabled children were found to be living in their own filth, with a staff-to-resident ratio of 30- or 40-to-one, and residents had a 100% incidence of hepatitis within the first six weeks of entering Willowbrook.
This is obviously not the most upbeat documentary to have in your library, but a film to refer to as an extraordinary piece of film work. Perhaps more filmmakers should enter these institutions and reveal the heart-wrenching truth of fraud and corruption.
