It's been 50 years since the WABC-TV documentary that blew the cover off of the horrible living conditions of disabled children and adults at a facility on Staten Island called Willowbrook.
The film, with then Eyewitness News reporter Geraldo Rivera, was one of the first exposes on local television.
This is the original special that aired on February 2, 1972 at 7:30 p.m. on WABC-TV Channel 7 New York.
