Vallerie

Vallerie is a nurse at Del Amo Behavioral Health Care Center. She refused to tell me her last name. She arrested me when I was at Del Amo making my first film about the Mental Hospitals. She tried to keep me captive on a 14 day hold. But Dr. Michael Tallwin refused to keep me longer than 2 days because he saw one of my films. As a nurse, Vallerie did not have the authority to overrule Dr. Tallwin.

During this time, she took away my camera and destroyed all my film. I had already filmed 4 Mental Hospitals. These film clips included interviews with doctors who explained why they forced me to take such horrible medication and held me captive for almost a year. These film clips were the result of several months of hard work and thousands of dollars in filming expenses. Valerie destroys everything.

During this time she asked me, “If you didn't like that medication that will forced you to take last time, why did you come back to the United States? Why didn't you stay in the Ukraine?”

So I said: “Because I don't have any family in the Ukraine. All of my family lives here in the U.S. I spent every Christmas alone in my apartment. I have not had a Christmas with my family since 2002. I tried to use my summer vacation as a chance to spend a little time with my family.”

Then she said, “If some doctor would force me to take medication that made me sick, I would leave the U.S. and never come back. I would not give two cents for my family. My family can go to hell.”
