Starring Rip Torn as Walt Whitman, Colm Feore as Dr. Maurice Bucke, and Wendel Meldrum as Jessie Bucke.
The story of Canadian mental health pioneer Richard Maurice Bucke and the influence exerted on him by Walt Whitman to reject the conventional, brutal treatment with which the mentally ill were afflicted by physicians, and to instead accept them with compassion and sympathy.
Hemdale Film Corporation, known as Hemdale Communications after 1993, was an independent film production company and distributor founded in London in 1967 as the Hemdale Company by actor David Hemmings and his manager, John Daly. […] Among its most well-known films are The Terminator, The Return of the Living Dead, Hoosiers, Salvador, River's Edge, Platoon, and The Last Emperor; the latter two were back-to-back recipients of the Academy Award for Best Picture. Despite these critical and commercial successes, Hemdale followed these films up with a series of box office bombs and the company eventually declared bankruptcy. – From Wikipedia.
