About the Production:
“All over the US and abroad, so-called therapeutic boarding schools, boot camps, and wilderness rehabilitation programs take in teenagers with a wide range of issues and use unsafe and often harmful tactics to reform them. Using political connections, religious affiliations, and substantial amounts of money, many such camps and schools have committed inappropriate and abusive acts behind their guarded walls for decades with impunity.
“I, myself had no idea these places existed before stumbling upon this remote reform school and by some miracle got permission to film there.” — Kate S. Logan
Current Status:
Post-production.
