As part of cchr's public awareness campaign, the museum's graphic documentary-style expose includes 14 state-of-the-art mini-documentaries addressing & exposing the lineage of human rights violations that have been and continue to be passed off as "treatment" within the infrastructure of modern, medical "practice".
