John Kastner
2013 | 1 h 39 min
While gripped by psychosis, a troubled young man stabs a complete stranger six times in a crowded shopping mall. The young man is declared not criminally responsible on account of mental disorder and confined to a forensic mental health institution. Directed by four-time Emmy® Award winner John Kastner, NCR: Not Criminally Responsible offers a timely and provocative examination of violence and mental illness.
