Escape from Sanity

BBC One
on BBC One London

A documentary on Schizophrenia by Hugh Burnett.
Schizophrenia is people struggling to come to terms with the human situation. BBC cameras spent five weeks at Shenley Hospital filming the predicament of men and women in full retreat from society - a condition which is called madness.

"I hate everyone, they've all been so unkind to me. They've humiliated me, and I was so beautiful once. I had lovely long auburn hair and I had beautiful eyes.
I love Roger and I love Anthony and I love John, the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost Before it was Dr Bardon, Dr. Levin - and which other doctor? I can't remember."
