ASYLUM
Short Documentary
Swung back and forth between depression and euphoria, David Brown (29) has ended up in the umpteenth psychiatric facility. With stories and humor he tries to keep the madness at bay. Will he manage to stand on his own two feet again, or will he change into one of those ‘Valium zombies’ he only parodies right now?
Asylum is part of Teledoc Campus.
