‘Fit to be Untied’ explores how we treat people who are institutionalized for mental illness

This Sunday, April 19, the University of Colorado Boulder’s International Film Series will screen “Matti da slegare” or “Fit to be Untied,” an Italian documentary about patients in a mental hospital, followed by a panel discussion about mental health featuring state senator Judy Amabile.

KGNU’s Abby O’Brien sat down with Giuseppe Bruno Bossio from the March 11 Film Collective to learn more.

The screening and panel will take place this Sunday at 2 p.m. in CU’s Muenzinger Auditorium — more information is available at internationalfilmseries.com.
