In 1964, a young pediatrician begins his residency at Willowbrook State School in Staten Island, only to discover that the institution is conducting Army funded experiments on developmentally disabled children. Based on true events.
The film addresses the awful conditions in which people with developmental disabilities were warehoused and the controversial research experiments that took place at Willowbrook under Dr. Saul Krugman in the 1960s.
