A master of observational documentary, award-winning director Kim Longinotto opens a window onto the lives of the boys at England's Mulberry Bush School. Celebrating its 60th anniversary, this innovative boarding school provides therapeutic care and instruction for children who have experienced early life trauma, neglect, or other emotional problems. Forty students excluded from traditional education find a last resort at Mulberry Bush, where they are allowed three years to learn how to control their emotions and actions. Harrowing and inspirational, Hold Me Tight, Let Me Go shows the difficult road to recovery each of these children face. The teachers handle the students' violent and alarming outbursts with unwavering patience, slowly leading each child to uncover their own endearing natures.
