The Quiet One (1948)

Do you have Cabbin in the sky?

I know of this facility.

"This Boy wants All my Attention"... yeah I feel sorry for ALL Children in the "Care" of Them, back in Those days ESPECIALLY.😢

Hey How can I intern for y’all? I’m a journalism student at TSU and I want to learn how to produce content like yours

Great film, I truly enjoyed. Thank you 😇

SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST: THE PRISONERS BIBLE. by Chief Shuaib Y. Isreal. Google The Book! Or FACE THE MUSIC!!

Good movie thanks for sharing...it’s sad that so many kids are in the same position today.

The Trick.
These Boys/Men are Malnutritious Dealing with Trama. Born into a World Of Drama. Two choices Respect or Submission
No wepons But the Trust of God's Omnipresence. ~GEW¿

I m the 69th like

You know what would be hip? A ReelBlack style intro to these films. Like they do on TCM. So much history and background.

Don't forget who systematically created this life of misery & hopelesness.

Mike Dennis. . . I'd love to just sit and talk with you and the reels you have seen . . .such a God you are/is

I believe James Agee had something to do with this documentary. ("Let Us Now Praise Famous Men").

What a sad movie .

Boxer Floyd Patterson went to the school. Wanna bet that this was about him?

Given the growth of the population and the expansion of its mission, the Wiltwyck School required a larger, more up-to-date campus, and after several legal battles against zoning restrictions created by the town of Yorktown, New York in an attempt to bar Wiltwyck from buying land, the school moved to Yorktown to a campus named for Eleanor Roosevelt, who had been an active supporter of Wiltwyck from its inception. The new campus reflected Wiltwyck's treatment philosophy: open-plan buildings and unfenced grounds designed to give the boys a sense of freedom and responsibility for their environment. In the 1970s, treatment models shifted away from residential institutions to a focus on smaller centers located in children's communities. In response to these changes in the larger therapeutic and psychiatric communities, Wiltwyck opened smaller centers in Bedford-Stuyvesant in Brooklyn, in the Bronx, and in lower Manhattan.

You can see how so many kids get violent .Beat down so long, that when they get bigger they want to hurt others

That’s how I was treated. And still is. 😞

Um. Why couldn’t that guy lite his own cigarettes 🚬?! Hmm 🤔.

Poor little boy this is heartbreaking...

Joe Jackson?? Really???

Anyone know what happened to this kid? Where is he today?

These kids were just 3 or 4 short generations away from over 200 years of slavery.

Imagine the impact if someone would colorize this B/W film.

The narrator sounds like the narrator from the Outer Limits TV show.🤣

Very informative in what not to do . Children need love and security. This movie really hurt to watch.

What a 'profound' film! Certain parts are sad to watch, but is the truth.

MY heart goes out to ALL CHILDREN WHO'S NEGLECTED AND ARE MISTREATED, ALOT OF TIMES PARENTS DON'T KNOW HOW TO SHOW LOVE AND AFFECTION, BECAUSE THEIR PARENTS DIDN'T SHOW THEM LOVE AND AFFECTION. BACK IN THOSE DAYS PARENTS FELT I FEED YOU, I GIVE YOU A ROOF OVER YOUR HEAD, CLOTHES ON YOUR BACK, YOU KNOW I LOVE YOU, BUT A CHILD NEEDS TO BE TOLD I LOVE YOU ❤️

To all the quiet ones…you are loved unconditionally 🥳🥳🥳

I’ve used this for 15yrs as a training aid around children in care and the building of attachment it is quite fabulous. Originally created as a marketing film for the school to raise money. Obviously closed now. Great movie, a real social history.
