Events › Classic Film Screening: The Snake Pit (1948)

Join us for a screening for mental health awareness month for this acclaimed classic drama, The Snake Pit from 1948.

A seemingly normal married woman behaves so erratically that her husband asks that she get professional help, whereupon she is confined to a state hospital; she is well-treated by her kindly doctor but abused by patients and matrons alike. A Best Picture nominee and Olivia de Havilland was nominated for her performance. A classic portrayal of mental health and personal struggle that you won't want to miss.
