New Film Release
Institutions: Close Them!
Institutions: Close Them! is a film production inspired by members of People First of New Hampshire to help send the message that all institutions must be closed. Since the film was released on January 18, 2012, we have had 1030 views!
"With this film People First of New Hampshire has made a strong contribution to human rights. Segregation and isolation of any group is barbaric. It is past the time where institutions for persons with intellectual disabilities be placed where they belong - history's garbage dump. Thank you for your leadership."
Featured in the film are five members of People First of New Hampshire who had lived at Laconia State School and Training Center in Laconia, New Hampshire. These five individuals; Frank, Roberta, Linda, Annabelle, and Joanne share their stories past and present to encourage movement toward community living.
People First of New Hampshire is preparing a toolkit to accompany this film to help other states close their institutions. This will be available soon. Laconia was the first state institution in the United States to close in 1991.
