Leonard Lowe (played by Robert De Niro) and the rest of the patients were awakened after decades of catatonic state and have to deal with a new life in a new time.

· Keane (2004): A man in his early 30s (Keane) struggles with the supposed loss of his daughter from a port authority bus terminal in New York, while fighting serious battles with schizophrenia. We can never be sure if the loss is real or imaginary; or whether his overt interest in helping young girls is innocent and of a fatherly nature, or is of a darker, scarier motive. The film is about a search for family, belonging, and the overwhelming need for human connection. It is a disturbing and thought-provoking story about real characters dealing with everyday life. Keane’s quest for his daughter and Kira’s (Kira is a young girl he befriends) longing for a nuclear family is what connects them and the audience to a heartbreaking story.
-
· Out of the Shadow (2004): The documentary film opens with the filmmaker, Susan Smiley, in search of her mother, Millie, who suffers from paranoid schizophrenia and who, once again, has disappeared into the woefully inadequate public health care system of Middle America.
