In America during the 1950s and 1960s, the cultural assumption was that a woman s most important contribution to society was her ability to raise happy, well-adjusted children. But, for a mother whose child was diagnosed with autism, her life s purpose turned into a twisted nightmare.
Instead of offering help and guidance, the medical establishment pinned the blame for her child s bizarre behavior on her frigid or detached mothering labeling her a refrigerator mother.
This important documentary paints a painful portrait of an entire generation of mothers who were once isolated and alienated. Now, they raise their strong, resilient voices to share their personal journeys, exposing what happens when humanity is removed from medical or scientific research.
