Lost in Laconia DVD

 During a time when people who were branded and stigmatized as "feebleminded" and a danger to society were banished to a life of isolation and total segregation, thousands of children and adults were institutionalized in large state operated institutions throughout the country. In the case of New Hampshire, that place was the Laconia State School. This documentary traces the history of the institution from its initial beginnings as the New Hampshire School for the Feebleminded in the early 1900's until its closure in 1991.

The DVD features extras including:

• Lost in Laconia trailers
• The Chemung
• A word with writer and producer, Gordon DuBois
