Los Angeles, 1928. A single mother returns from work to find her nine-year-old son gone. She calls the LAPD to initiate a search. Five months later, a boy is found in Illinois who fits the description; he says he's her son. To fanfare and photos, the LAPD reunite mother and son, but she insists he's not her boy. The cops dismiss her as either a liar or hysterical. When she joins a minister in his public criticism of the police, they in turn use government power to silence and intimidate her. Meanwhile, a cop goes to a dilapidated ranch to find a Canadian lad who's without legal status; the youth tells a grisly tale. There's redress for murder; is there redress for abuse of power?

Patch Adams is a 1998 comedy-drama film starring Robin Williams. Directed by Tom Shadyac, it is based on the life story of Dr. Hunter "Patch" Adams and the book Gesundheit: Good Health is a Laughing Matter by Adams and Maureen Mylander. The film was a box-office success, grossing over twice its budget in the United States alone; however, it was poorly received by most critics.
Plot
In 1969, Hunter Adams (Robin Williams) is a troubled man who voluntarily commits himself into a mental institution. Once there, he finds that helping his fellow inmates gives him a purpose in life and earns the nickname "Patch". Because of this he aspires to become a medical doctor and two years later enrolls at Virginia Medical University, being the oldest first year student. He questions the school's approach to medical care, and clashes with the school's Dean Walcott (Bob Gunton), who believes that doctors must treat patients and not bond with them as people. Because of this and other incidents, including a prank during a medical conference, he is expelled from the school, although he is later reinstated due to his methods actually improving the health of patients. Adams encourages medical students to cultivate relationships with nurses and learn their interviewing skills early, and argues that death should be treated with dignity and even humor.
Adams begins a friendship with fellow student Carin Fisher (Monica Potter), and develops his idea for a medical clinic built around his philosophy of treating patients through humor and compassion. With the help of Arthur Mendelson (Harold Gould), a wealthy man who was a patient whom Patch met while in the mental hospital, he purchases 105 acres (425,000 m2) in West Virginia to construct the future Gesundheit! Institute. Together with Carin, medical student Truman Schiff (Daniel London), and some old friends, he renovates an old cottage. When they get the clinic running, they treat walk-in patients without medical insurance, and perform comedy sketches for them.
Carin and Patch's friendship soon turns into romance. She reveals to him that she had been molested as a child, distancing herself from men and dreaming of becoming a butterfly to escape her torment, but Patch reassures her that she can overcome her pain to help others. Encouraged, Carin wants to help a disturbed patient, Lawrence "Larry" Silver (Douglas Roberts), by visiting him at home. Larry turns out to be far more disturbed than anybody expected, and murders Carin, turning the shotgun on himself soon after. Patch is devastated and guilt-ridden by Carin's death. He reconsiders his outlook, and questions the goodness of humanity. He contemplates suicide and questions God for what happened. He then turns to see a butterfly which reminds him of Carin and hope, and so decides to continue his work in her honor. However he is dismissed from the school for a second time because he ran a clinic and practiced medicine without a license. He files a grievance with the state medical board at the advice of his former Med school roommate, Mitch Roman (Philip Seymour Hoffman), and must attend a hearing where it is decided whether he can graduate.
Patch is able to convince the board in a final speech that he did his best to help the people that came to him, and as a doctor it is his responsibility to treat the disease of the body as well as a person's spirit regardless of outcome. The jury accepts Patch's medical methods and decides to allow him to graduate. He receives a standing ovation from the packed hearing room. Even at graduation, Patch cannot help but be a non-conformist. After handing Adams a diploma, Walcott approves of Patch's conformity, to which Patch bows to the professors and the audience, revealing his nude bottom under his gown.
Filem ni pun ok............namun kritikan ini benar-benar membuka mata kita
Patch Adams also said of Robin Williams in an interview, "He made $21 million for four months of pretending to be me, in a very simplistic version, and did not give $10 to my free hospital. Patch Adams, the person, would have, if I had Robin's money, given all $21 million to a free hospital in a country where 80 million cannot get care."

Reality: The movie We Have Your Husband is based on the true story of Eduardo and Jayne Garcia Valseca. The movie premiered on Lifetime in November 2011.
American Expat 's Husband Kidnapped in Mexico
by Traciy Curry-Reyes
I remember seeing the MSNBC special about this particular story. It was terrifying to listen to the wife describe what was happening to her. As the wife of a Mexican national, I thought about how terrifying it would be as an American living in a foreign country. I will post a link to where you can listen to the actual documentary of the real case. So glad that this story had a happy ending.
The real case happened back in 2007 in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico. The love between Eduardo Garcia Valseca and his expatriate wife Jayne was like a fairy tale. They had decided to live in San Miguel where they renovated an old ranch. They had also started a school there in the town. One morning while accompanying their children down the long isolated road to the school house, they noticed a pair of men sitting in the cars when suddenly they were attacked at gun point and shoved into a vehicle. They let Jayne go, but took Eduardo. A few days later Jayne received an email from the kidnappers. They told her that they had her husband and that she needed to send eight million dollars to pay for his release. As Jayne frantically tried to gather the money together, the men continued to send anonymous emails for months threatening to kill him. Her husband Eduardo was caged for several months with very little food. The kidnappers most likely thought that the couple kept large sums of money in their home as many people do in Mexico. After some time passed, Jayne finally tried to move on with her life, but she was pleasantly surprised when her husband Eduardo Garcia Valseca literally walked up to the front door out of no where. Jayne could not believe her eyes. She could not believe that her husband had finally returned home. She gave him something to eat, and nursed him back to health. They told their story on MSNBC. The name of that episode is The Desperate Hours.
In 1947, when Aung San Suu Kyi is two years old, her father Aung San leads Burma to independence. But soon afterwards, on 19 July 1947, he along with a group of his colleagues is assassinated by a group of armed men in uniform.[19]

[22][23] Yet their relentless struggling for Suu Kyi's recognition outside Burma is her guarantee she won't be forgotten and cannot disappear unnoticed.
Due to her family's efforts, she becomes the first woman in Asia to be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.[24] Yet their separation continues because neither can Suu Kyi attend the ceremony nor can her husband Michael Aris see her one last time before his early death
