Caged & Chained, The Guardian Nov 14 Written By Vishva Samani This powerful film, filmed and directed by Simon Rawles and produced by myself, shows mentally ill people shackled in cages by their families in the Philippines. Their situation was revealed by local organisations searching for vulnerable survivors in the aftermath of typhoon Haiyan. We were shocked to find one man who had been trapped by his family for 16 years; he had been left to die. Another six people were found in the town of San Remigio, northern Cebu, where this film is shot. This film was a Rory Peck Award Finalist. Philippinesmental healthstigma Vishva Samani
