  • Watch Online / Unit 7 (2011)



    Desc: Unit 7: Directed by Zoli Schwarcz. Unit 7 was filmed in the 120 square meters of floor 13 at the Amsterdam Bijlmer prison. A growing percentage of the Dutch prisoners suffer from severe psychiatric problems. When local teams cannot deal with their extreme behavior, they are sent to Unit 7. In a setting of maximum security and care, Unit 7 has six weeks within which it must resolve the crisis. Unit 7 is the place of last resort, if treatment fails, there is no alternative. In an impressive manner, the documentary portrays how both staff members and patients in this depressing location are inextricably bound to each other. A psychological battle unfurls from which no one comes out unscathed.
