Chattahoochee

In the stifling humidity of 1950s Florida, a tormented Korean war veteran finds himself involuntarily committed to an institution euphemistically referred to as a "maximum security" psychiatric facility. This is no sanctuary for healing; rather, it's a cruel microcosm of the veteran's original battlefield trauma, where patients are subjected to physical and psychological abuse at the hands of staff who wield their power with impunity. This stark portrayal of a bygone era's mistreatment of those struggling with mental health issues exposes the horrifying truth behind locked doors, and raises questions about the systemic failings that allow such cruelties to persist unchecked. As the line between victim and perpetrator blurs, the veteran must navigate this brutal environment while holding onto the last remnants of his fragile sanity.
