| | Notes | Set in Canada (c. 1880) The poet Walt Whitman and a psychiatrist, Dr. Maurice Bucke tackle the cruel, inhuman treatment meted out to mental patients at an asylum in London, Ontario. Rip Torn plays Whitman, Colm Feore the Doctor. Good acting from the leads and patients. An interesting touch of history. Whitman's brother was mentally ill.
