The Dancing Outlaw

This documentary introduces us to Jesco White, a hard-living, tap-dancing Boone County resident whose repeated run-ins with the law have interfered with his dream of becoming as renowned a "mountain dancer" like his late father, D. Ray White.
The Dancing Outlaw was released to videocassette after becoming something of a cult sensation. Film and TV actress Roseanne is among Jesco's many fans.

They have recognized this guy has bipolar disorder but no one did anything about it. Left him to his own devices with huffing gas and lighter fluid and harming everyone around him.

I'm not sure he ever did anything for the government to step in and force medication, at least not in the 80s and 90s. Nowadays probably lol. My family was alot like this and there was never any forced meds, just incarceration.
