In the sixties, Jeffrey Paull gave a group of young people with autism the oppor- tunity to film themselves and the world around them. Mike Hoolboom draws from this archive to continue Paull’s mission: to express the emotions of people who are condemned by the authorities and by the other people’s perceptions to live in silence. Donna Washington, a former patient, comments the images and reports the obstacles she had to face before she was finally able to reach self-perception. (VP)
