Synopsis - tag line
THE HURTING (Independent film )
based on a true story (spec first draft script and spec trailer available)
In the tradition of Spotlight, A Million Little Pieces, Running with Scissors and
even the film Sleepers, we have the horrific but true Chicago story
revealing an ugly secret of the Chicago elite - their ability to rid
themselves of their children by dumping them into mental institutions,
with only a big checkbook to support the idea that their children are
mentally unstable. One such child, Paul Abramson, lived to tell the
tale.

Hi Van, the concept is super interesting! I'm curious, do you have a personal connection to the story?
Yes it is based on a true story of my life. Please contact me to move forward. Thank you
