Quote

HBO 2-part documentary series that premieres on Tuesday June 25 at 9pm ET with Part 2 airing on Wednesday June 26 at the same time. Both parts will stream on Max starting on June 25

Logline: ONE SOUTH is an inpatient psychiatric unit at Zucker Hillside Hospital in Queens, NY that specializes in treating young adults in acute crisis. It may look more like a college dorm than a psychiatric hospital, but patients arrive every day in acute crisis. They are dealing with a variety of mental health issues, including depression, anxiety, personality disorders and psychosis, and many have contemplated or attempted suicide. A team of doctors, social workers, and nurses work together to stabilize the patients and prepare them to return to the outside world, but time is limited and there are many obstacles. The two-part film follows the trajectory of a hospital admission-from intake, through the ups and downs of treatment, to discharge-as a variety of patient and provider stories are blended to create a rich portrait of a unique place.
