A health trust has been fined £300,000 after two nurses were repeatedly stabbed by a patient at a mental health centre in Kent.

Myha Grant was handed a 19-year prison sentence for the attack at the Bracton Centre near Dartford on 17 July 2016.

Oxleas NHS Foundation Trust pleaded…

They made me wait 8 months just to tell me to fuck off. Because apparently 10+ years of extensive and complex mental health problems, that are ACTIVELY CRIPPLING my life, don't require therapy.

This is another version of Lee's film about Oxleas Woods. You can see the first version here. Having done some more research about the history of the Woods and experimented with recording voiceovers, this monochrome version uses inter titles to convey an elliptical narrative along with a subtle soundtrack of ambient noises. The film explores the Woods, the paths, the castle, doorways and barriers, evoking a spirit of place and the sense of a strange and, sometimes, disturbing history lurking just beneath the surface.

Lee was inspired by the films of Patrick Keiller and 'The Robinson Institute' installation at Tate Britain, along with research about psychogeography and the Surrealists' wanderings around the outskirts of Paris.
