If I hadn't been through a brainwashing camp myself as a teenager I wouldn't think this movie was anything more than an interesting watch. But, the reality is that I know this type of abuse (and worse) happens in boot camps, wilderness programs, therapeutic boarding schools, residential treatment centers, teen drug rehabs and many other programs in the United States and Canada. I witnessed it and experienced it myself at age 14-16.
Due to the reality that this movie portrays and the lack of attention given to this problem in our society, I applaud all who were part of the making of this movie.
If anyone would like to know more about this very real issue of kids being brainwashed, tortured and killed in teen programs, Google FORNITS (a forum for those who were victims of these programs), Human Earth Animal Liberation (HEAL), International Survivors Action Committee (ISAC), Teen Advocates USA.
Find the Youtube video of "Martin Lee Anderson" being killed by staff in a boot camp caught on surveillance video (the staff were not convicted of the murder but were all acquitted!).
The movie itself is absolutely worth watching, although some parts are a little over the top, because the premise of the movie is based on actual events that have and do happen all across this country. Plus many horrors that happen in these programs were not shown in this movie.
