I don't think this will be controversial. There has never been anything even remotely like it here. It is a documentary about an organisation called 'Straight Inc' which was shut down in the nineties, part of the 'troubled teens industry'. My cousin went there because she was caught with a spliff in high school (in America, obv). They sort of break you down. It is a drug program but it seems to me that it was an employment program for sadists. 50 000 'troubled teens' went through it before it was shut down.
The kids were deprived of sleep, food and water if they stepped out of line. You had to sleep in a locked room and if you needed the loo you would be
would be followed there. They used something called 'spit therapy' where everyone would give verbal abuse to one teen, to break them down.

The makers of the film have received anonymous threats, which is what has prompted me to post. Does anyone have any advice about how I can help promote this?
