Lisa Fernandez

Critically acclaimed for performance and frankness. Over the GW tells writer/director Nick Taglia's own harrowing tale of drug rehabilitation in the late 90's. The story follows troubled siblings (George Gallagher, Kether Donohue) as they are removed from their Bronx home an dcommitted to a New Jersey treatment center by their well-meaning parents. As an expected 30 stay stretches to two years, the siblings are systematically brainswashed intoa state of abjected fear by cult-like staff members. Resembling jail-time more then rehabilitaion, the film strikingly, remarkable in its restraint, the gradual erosion of free will exposing physically and mentally abusive reprogramming masquerading as rehabilitation.
