People in White is
a project that explores the complicated relationship
between doctor and patient in mental health care.
"Margreet has been receiving electroshock treatment
monthly for 2 years now. As side effect she has lost
most of her memory - but she doesn't care because
she feels better. She has been having the same
psychoanalyst for 20 years. He is her memory; He
knows more about her than she can remember. She is
afraid what happens when he dies."
Margreet is one of the 10 patients who gather
together in order to share their experiences about
mental health care professionals. They return to
their memories through story telling and
re-enactments. Some of the stories are beautiful
descriptions of healing moments. For other
participants the traumatic experiences with their
doctors are still haunting them today.
The film was screened on many festivals such as Doc
Point (Helsinki) and Hot Docs (Toronto) or the Rome
Film Festival. It was selected to be the best
feature film at “Lo Spiraglio Film Fest” – a film
festival about mental health in Italy.
