Human Zoo 2009 Okru -

The title "The Human Zoo" is a reference to a 1960s term used to describe institutions for people with intellectual disabilities, implying that these individuals were treated like animals in a zoo. While the institutions of the past have largely given way to community-based care, the documentary suggests that the legacy of segregation and stigma persists. The film's subjects face significant challenges, including poverty, social isolation, and limited access to resources and support.
