Ontario man found not criminally responsible for brutal stabbing now seeks freedom in controversial case.
Directed by John Kastner, this feature documentary about violence, mental illness, and the rights of victims tells the story of a troubled young man who stabbed a complete stranger 6 times in a crowded shopping mall while gripped by psychosis. Twelve years later, his victim, who miraculously survived, is terrified to learn that he’s out, living in the community under supervision. He’s applying for an absolute discharge, and if he succeeds, he’ll no longer be required to take the anti-psychotic drugs that control his mental illness. With unprecedented access to the patient, the victim, and the mental institution, the film looks at both sides of the debate and puts a human face on the complex ethical issues raised.
Directed by John Kastner - 2013 | 99 min
Coproduced by JS Kastner Productions Ltd. and National Film Board of Canada and association with Canadian Broadcasting Corporation and documentary Channel
