I was watching a Youtube video about banned documentaries a while back. One of which was a film documenting abuse in a mental health facility. It may not have been in Boston directly, but I recall it was somewhere in MA. The documentary was set by release, and even approved by the hospital, but the government decided to step in and halt it's showing.

- the_only_law 6y agoDon't recall offhand if it was the City or State but one localized somewhere to MA, not Federal.
- ya1sec 6y agoI think you're talking about Titicut Follies by Frederick Wiseman? He's an excellent filmmaker and a lot of his documentaries, including Titicut Follies, are on Kanopy. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Titicut_Follies#Censorship https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Titicut_Follies#Censorship
