Synopsis
Well-educated, New Hampshire mother, Linda Bishop, was determined to stay free of the mental health system after her early release from a 3 year commitment to New Hampshire State Hospital. Instead, she became a prisoner of her own mind, a fate which she documents in one of the most evocative and chilling accounts of mental illness and of our systemic failure to protect those suffering from it.

This was a rather moving documentary about how an intelligent woman slowly lost a battle with mental illness. The unique part of the film is how she became lost to the world in her final months. I think the Netflix description of the film really doesn't do it justice - I did not see her death as a failure of the system but that doesn't change how I felt about it.
