    • Synopsis
    • It is the true story written by Mark Rosen of a mentally ill, Eleanor Riese and her lawyer, Colette Hughes. A story of two special women and their exceptional friendship in a great fight for human dignity. Based on a true story of a 41 year-old woman with mental problems who, with brief stays in hospitals, lives in her own apartment and manages her own life. Because of the forced medication, she decides to sue the mental hospital system in California to make sure that what happened to her doesn’t happen to any other competent patient like herself, patients who are not a danger to themselves or to others.
