My Son, My Son, What Have Ye Done (Movie Watch)

Inspired by the true story of Mark Yarovsky, a San Diego man inspired by Sophocles' Orestes who stabbed & killed his mother with an antique saber. Yarovsky was at the time a graduate student at UCSD who had recently been cast in the lead role of a production of Orestes. Yarovsky was tried & found not guilty by reason of insanity, spending many years at Patton State Hospital before his release.
