Synopsis

Explores the lives of children who are permanently hospitalized due to learning disability, mental illness or physical disability. Oswin concentrates in-particular on the weekends and the lack of stimulation that the children received during these hours. She uses this research to argue for an updated system of care that would allow these children to participate in life in the 'outside world'.
