10 Days in a Madhouse

In 2015, the true story of Nellie Bly's undercover investigation into the notorious Blackwell's Island women's insane asylum comes to life on screen. A determined reporter for Joseph Pulitzer's New York World, Bly, a 23-year-old journalist at the time, goes undercover in the institution to expose corruption, abuse, and murder, drawing from her own experiences in Nellie Bly's book, Ten Days in a Mad-House. The film, directed by Timothy Hines and consultation with biographer Brooke Kroeger, sheds light on the pivotal moment that led to significant reforms in mental health treatment.
