Matt Norman has again put pen to paper on his next film project. “SCAB GIRL ASYLUM” will be the eighth film with Matt Norman as Writer/Director/Producer. It is a human story strategically targeted to a global audience. The Film is a fast-paced, realistic, emotional film with strong ties to common political issues of our time.
Scab Girl Asylum is a film that delves into one of Australia’s Worst Civil and Human rights claims. Susan became a ward of the State as a baby and went on to be admitted into the worst mental asylum in the country. The Asylum was known for it’s horrific ways in dealing with patients and it’s reputation for cruelty was kept a secret until now.
Drug testing on its patients, rape, abuse and constant death by suicide and mistreatment of it’s patients were the norm. Australia’s ghastly history of children’s orphanages, State institutions and asylums are unlike the closely monitored processes and legislature of today’s providers. Many of these facilities either run by the State, church and independent proprietors failed in their responsibilities delivering abuse, neglect and unwarranted conditions for the wards of that time.
This is the terrifying story of one young girl who became part of the worst abuse in one of the worst Asylums but lived to tell the tale. This is Scab Girl Asylum.
SCAB GIRL ASYLUM - “a sane child in an insane World”.
The Film explores the abuse, exploitation, and abandonment of a young child, who grew up under extraordinary circumstances. The story captures the explicitness of Wards of the State at a time where abuse was rife and “in the best interests of the child” secondary. Scab Girl begs the question, “Could this be true?” and “What else don’t I know?”
