An excellent film. The Silent Twins have also had a drama written about them in the 80/90s. Two very misunderstood girls. The Bronte sisters had their own secret language and wrote stories on tiny scraps of paper. They were not institunalised.
It is well documented that people of colour are more likely to be sent to Mental Health Institutions for longer periods than there white counterparts.
The Twins shoud have been helped much sooner. I had a friend whose brother never came out of his room and his food was left outside, this should be a red flag to parents as he was diagnosed a Schizophrenic in his twenties.. A very sad film, but well acted and the actors who played the twins captured them beautifully. R.I.P Jennifer.
