reply to article : Riverview deserves heritage designation
A 12 ½ minutes film entitled Bedlam part 2, is being shown at the David Lam campus of Douglas College on Monday, 25th at 5:30pm. It shows old footage of the hospital before medication was widely used, hence the title of Bedlam.
Anna Tremere, founder of the Riverview Hosp. Historical Soc., and who also runs the museum, will be there, along with a nurse who was there at the age of 16 in 1945, and again from 1973 - 1988.
Documentary portrays life at Essondale ( article in the Now newspaper about Bedlam )
Douglas doc on Riverview premieres Monday ( article from the Tri-City News about Bedlam )
A packed house, and very well received premiere showing, including an extensive display of artifacts, photographs from the Riverview Museum. Great short almost 13 minute documentary of some of the situations a former nurse found herself in.
