Roses Have Thorns - Kalamazoo State Hospital

From Melissa Hernandez Duran January 27th, 2023

A documentary program in which Tammy Wood, Assistant Public Affairs Director, volunteers to commit herself to Kalamazoo State Hospital. This two week impersonation is known only to the state mental health director, the hospital superintendent, and a very few department heads. The story of her stay there is told by her as she lived it. The pictorial representation was recreated after she left the hospital.
