SYNOPSIS
The “Troubled Teen Industry” in the United States: an often little-known reality that impacts the lives of two hundred thousand adolescents each year. These young people, faced with difficulties such as addiction or dropping out of school, are sent to private recovery centers, supposed to offer them the support necessary to overcome their ordeals. However, the reality is much darker.
This documentary sheds light on the extreme methods employed by these establishments, ranging from isolation to torture and humiliation, under the guise of "attack therapies". These practices, a far cry from traditional psychological treatments, aim to "reform" individuals through discipline and suffering. In the hope of seeing their children improve, families spend thousands of dollars every month, even mortgaging their homes to finance these programmes.
