Lost In Laconia is a raw dive into the history of the Laconia State School, and man, it’s pretty haunting. The documentary doesn't shy away from the grim realities of its beginnings as a home for the 'feebleminded.' You really feel the weight of the years as it unfolds, exploring both the personal and societal implications of the institution. The pacing has this almost somber rhythm, allowing moments of reflection in between the archival footage and interviews. It’s not just about facts; it's about lives affected, and that’s what sets it apart. Some of the interviews are really poignant, and the atmosphere throughout is heavy with loss and resilience. Not typical documentary fare, but definitely thought-provoking.
