I remember watching a film about a con artist (or something) in a nursing home or special care facility. He has this thing about using hypoxia to reach alternate states of being (or something) that he convinces several patients to try out, which involves his holding their heads underwater for gradually longer periods of time. Their results eventually convince him to try it himself. Eventually, there is a climactic scene where they all try together, and "succeed", swimming down into a long dark underwater corridor of bathtub stalls. Eventually, they come to a lighted passage where a glass panel blocks it off. They pass right through, in the process becoming dressed. The corridor is like the place they just left. He accosts an orderly and asks where they are. She tells him that he has to leave now. They try to go further, but find the way blocked by other patients. The orderly says that somebody will come for him. Then there is a perspective flip and we see him in a bed, in a hospital. He says, "well, I made it." or "I'm back". Then he says it again. And again. A slow zoom out reveals that he is strapped down and that his body is floppy, contorted, and grayish. His "trip" was an hallucination and the process gave him brain damage, where he needed to be moved to another facility. Fade to black
I'm sure I saw this on late night tv.
