Would you believe me if I told you that a Canadian mental health hospital was conducting cruel experiments on patients, using LSD, rape, embarrassment and torture as recently as the 1980s?

If you don't believe me, buckle up for this one as we are about to receive a guided tour through Ontario's controversial Oak Ridge Medical Asylum and the many unimaginable things that took place within it.

One of the many lives altered by Oak Ridge's cruelty is Steve Smith, in fact, many of the secrets that have been revealed since the experiements ceased, are a result of his determination to expose the truth of what happened in those walls.

Tonight, in this episode of Nighttime, we will be joined by Oak Ridge Survivor Steve Smith.
