About the true story & the film -

This project is 40 years in the making who’s time has come. ADD How mental illness has been portrayed in the media for decades and how we will show a different narrative that offers an enlightening perspective in this arena of mental health that includes spiritually transformative experiences.

Why is it called Spy in the House of Crazy™? Because both in 1979 & 2005 when Janet Werner was locked up in a mental institution the patients called her a “spy”. They picked her off as normal…not crazy like one of them. Both times patients said, “You are a spy from the medical team. You are not one of us”. You can’t make this stuff up. It is what happened.

Our true story is similar to the true story depicted in the movie, **Ten Days in a Mad-House** (released 2015). In 1887, a NYC journalist Nellie Bly went undercover in an insane asylum, published her findings and won a court case resulting in NYC awarding $1,000,000 to rectify the insane conditions. The similarity is that Nelly and Janet were both undercover. The difference is that Nelly had her NYC newspaper ready to get her out.

Nobody’s Child is the true story of Marie Boulter, who went into a mental institution when she was sixteen. Emmy-winning performance by Marlo Thomas. Watch the full movie: Nobodys Child 1986 – YouTube

Summary: It is 2005 and Anna Biltmore (acting as Janet Werner) is presenting to investors on Wall Street inspired to receive funding support for the training of medical students and mental health professionals that is now required by the American Medical Association, the American Psychological Association, and the American Psychiatric Association. Nine days later Anna summons the courage to tell her family that she was wrongfully labeled manic depressive in 1979 and wrongfully put in a mental institution. No one believes her. Anna’s mother calls the police stating emphatically that Anna is having another breakdown. A police car arrives and escorts her to a state hospital in New Jersey despite Anna pleading not to do this…not again. No one listens. Anna’s ten-year-old son is watching from the living room window crying and thinking to himself: “I don’t know if I’ll ever see my mom again.”

Eleven days locked up on a mental ward and drugged against her will Anna reaches deeply into her soul to find a way to survive without going crazy. After her release Anna embarks on a mission to vindicate herself by issuing press releases and letters to Congressmen and Senators, yet no support is to be found.

Six months later Anna gets a copy of her medical report and makes an appointment with the CEO of that same hospital. Dressed in a black suit, looking like her professional self, and accompanied by her business partner, Hank Michaels, Anna places page 3 of her medical report on the desk of the CEO and askes, “How did this happen? How did your staff not check the facts when I was telling the truth? How do you explain that I was labeled as delusional in this medical report when each of the statements I made were true and easily validated? The stigma was established in a misdiagnosis in 1979 which haunted her for over 40 years.

“She had delusions of grandiosity and felt that she was directly in contact with Wall Street and had a big business.” (she was)

“She had grandiose delusions of being supported by Washington DC.” (she was)

“She had grandiose delusions of being an entrepreneur.” (she was)

The CEO had already confirmed her credentials prior to this meeting and recognized that his staff made some grave mistakes which cost Anna extreme hardship, loss of income in her business not to mention the psychological impact on her son who was afraid that he would never see his mom again. After a brief apology, the CEO askes Anna to schedule a training session for his staff to inform them of the latest protocols for preventing such an atrocity from happening to others.

This true story leads viewers into a sense of hope from experiencing the unrelenting conviction from Anna Biltmore to speak her truth, prove her innocence and make a difference for others.

Similar to the true story of John Nash, a Princeton University professor depicted in A Beautiful Mind, starring Russell Crowe (released 2001) both John Nash & Anna Biltmore were sent to the NJ State Hospital in Trenton (a dungeon). John in 1961 and Anna Biltmore in 1979 (for 1 night).

Anna: “The college sent me to Trenton Psychiatric Hospital”. It was dark & dreary & scary. Patients walking around in their pajamas…dancing…yelling…pretty frightening place. I stayed in my room under the covers praying all night to keep my sanity.” I called my dad the next morning and asked him to get me out of here. He did.” No wonder John Nash demanded to get released from there and even hired a lawyer to advocate for him. John Nash’s story is painful and dramatic to watch in the movie, A Beautiful Mind. What is powerful to note is that he used his mind to get off and stay off antipsychotic meds and his Princeton University colleagues established a ‘safe place’ for John to apply his genius and contribute to society. “I did the same.”

**Trenton Psychiatric Hospital** was a state-run mental hospital located in Trenton and Ewing, New Jersey. It previously operated under the name **New Jersey State Hospital at Trenton** and originally as the **New Jersey State Lunatic Asylum**. Full demolition of the hospital must be completed by Oct. 15, 2022. “I was a patient there when I was 14, it was not much different than 1900.” **JIHADAH SHARIF. March 17, 2022.**
