The documentary video made me uncomfortable just by watching it because I found it extremely disturbing. The racial injustice towards are minority people is simply unbearable and it gets double when it gets connected to physical disabilities. The justice system fails to help people come back into normal lives and instead they are being forced to live a life of a criminal because they are left with no other choice. The video shows the institutionalization of the “Feebleminded” who are considered mentally incapable because of their physical disability.
