Warrendale
1967 · 1h 41m · Documentary · Canada
The Cannes prize-winner they dare not show on TV.
Filmed over five weeks at the Warrendale residential treatment center near Toronto, "Warrendale" observes twelve emotionally disturbed children and the staff who care for them. Working without narration, interviews, or direction, Allan King records daily life as it unfolds, establishing what he later described as “actuality drama.”
