Canadian filmmaker Allan King made this cinéma vérité documentary over the course of five weeks at an Ontario group home for emotionally disturbed youths in 1966. The patients range from elementary school age to their late teens, and head administrator Dr. Martin Fischer's preferred technique for handling their sometimes violent emotional outbursts involves having orderlies hold the children to prevent them from lashing out and hurting themselves or others.
