HBO has made a handful of announcements:
One in ten American children suffers from serious emotional disturbance and more than 17 million have experienced a psychiatric disorder. A DANGEROUS SON focuses primarily on three families in crisis, each struggling with a child’s severe mental illness, desperately seeking treatment in the face of limited resources and support.
Exposing cracks in a system that fails too many families, with potentially devastating consequences for the child or for others, the documentary debuts MONDAY, MAY 7 (8:00-9:30 p.m. ET/PT), on HBO, during Mental Health Awareness Month. The film is directed by Liz Garbus (HBO’s “Nothing Left Unsaid: Gloria Vanderbilt & Anderson Cooper,” “There’s Something Wrong with Aunt Diane”).
The film will also be available on HBO On Demand, HBO NOW, HBO GO and partners’ streaming platforms.
