I was watching a Youtube video about banned documentaries a while back. One of which was a film documenting abuse in a mental health facility. It may not have been in Boston directly, but I recall it was somewhere in MA. The documentary was set by release, and even approved by the hospital, but the government decided to step in and halt it's showing.

I think you're talking about Titicut Follies by Frederick Wiseman? He's an excellent filmmaker and a lot of his documentaries, including Titicut Follies, are on Kanopy.

Yep that looks like the one. I suppose it's good that it was eventually released even in a very limited capacity.
Which government?

Don't recall offhand if it was the City or State but one localized somewhere to MA, not Federal.
