Filmmaker Lucy Winer will be at Northport Library Sunday at 2 p.m. for a screening of her film, “Kings Park: Stories from an American Mental Institution.”

According to the library:

At the age of 17, Lucy Winer was committed to the Kings Park State Hospital following a series of suicide attempts. Now a documentary filmmaker, Ms. Winer journeys back to face her past and learn the story of the now-abandoned institution that once held her captive. Her meetings with former patients, families, and staff reveal the painful legacy of our state hospital system. A viewing of Kings Park (108 min.) will be followed by a discussion with Lucy Winer. No registration required.
