Los Inquilinos del Hospital Psiquiátrico Larco Herrera

Overview

A 2001 report aired by Frecuencia Latina on the late-night interviews and current affairs program Nadie se Duerma with Beto Ortiz. Martín and I were granted access to accompany the permanent patients of the Victor Larco Herrera Psychiatric Hospital for several days. Some had been there for more than 20 years. The vast majority would never leave. Their stories are repeated throughout Peru, with even more pain and sadness, and without the daily medication and care that they receive.
