Broadmoor S1 EP2 | the Realities of Life Inside a Notorious Institution | Real Crime

Broadmoor is a brave documentary that goes behind the formidable walls at a time when a controversial new approach seeks to release inmates back into society after no longer than nine years. With unprecedented access to staff and their patients, Broadmoor exposes the myths surrounding mental health and reveals the realities of life inside a notorious institution. Since its foundation 150 years ago, Broadmoor Hospital has fascinated the public and the media, but there are many misconceptions about what it does and the patients it is responsible for. Now for the first time it has opened its doors to a TV camera crew, giving unprecedented insight into its patients and the work that is carried out to treat and rehabilitate them. The film is the result of a five-year collaboration between the trust and award-winning director Olivia Lichtenstein and producer Jonathan Levi. Filmed over nine months, from Christmas 2013 to August 2014, the crew were given unique access and support from Broadmoor staff to help them build a complete picture of the hospital from admission to discharge.
