Broadmoor: A History of the Criminally Insane (2013) User Reviews

Very Interesting Watch

[Hannah7128 · 7/10 · 13 January 2019]

This 'film' or rather 'documentary' gives you a brief history of the infamous Broadmoor Hospital. It is surprisingly informative and focuses on how the hospital came into being along with an overview of the earliest patients. It is extremely interesting to see how the hospital itself has evolved over the years, and I enjoyed learning more about Victorian views on Mental illness and their link to crime. I would definitely recommend watching this, it's not too long so keeps the viewer engaged throughout.

Why was Broadmoor built?

An interesting look at Broadmoor Hospital from the Victorian days and moving forward to some of its infamous faces of more recent years. From the criminally insane to the treatments, looking at stigmas and impressions of what Broadmoor reflects to the outside world from Professor David Wilson.
