Portrait of an Egomaniac
18 November 2018
The director of this documentary wants you to feel some sympathy for Wakefield. This is a story of a self appointed revolutionary, a man who cares and has been hard done by via the vile medical establishment. In one way Bailey does make an argument for how these people can drive others to complete lunacy. Much like cult leaders the world over. In that respect this film is interesting.

What I didn't much like was that this documentary neither deeply dives and informs of the truth of the subject or record the actual facts. I felt that at times it does pander to Wakefield and his stupid, selfish actions which he of course claims were done with the best of intentions. Saying that, I did watch it and found merit in what it tries to do.
