Chained to a Tree for 14 Years — A Mental Health Documentary in Ghana

This powerful documentary exposes the heartbreaking reality of mental health neglect in rural Ghana, following a man chained to a tree by his own family for fourteen years. Filmed with an unflinching lens, the full-length feature reveals how a remote household structured its daily life around this profound tragedy, exposing the devastating absence of accessible psychiatric care and societal support systems across rural communities. The film digs deep into the human rights implications of extreme isolation, the stigma surrounding mental illness, and the systemic failures that leave vulnerable individuals and their families without any meaningful intervention. Far from a simple exposé, it is an urgent call to action — challenging global audiences to confront uncomfortable truths about institutional neglect, social injustice, and the critical need for worldwide mental health reform. #MentalHealthDocumentary #HumanRights #GhanaDocumentary #SocialInjustice #MentalHealthAwareness #Lykstage #LykstageVideo #LykstageCreator #LykstageCommunity
