The Program: Cons, Cults, and Kidnapping

Horrifying Always feels weird reviewing documentaries but alas. First and foremost I wish to say that a constant binge of serial killer documentaries led to this inhumane desensitisation in me where I viewed the victims and their scenarios as less of a tragedy and more of a form of entertainment. I had to take a break and explore other forms of true crime as such. I feel as though it's not just me it's adaptations like Dahmer that add to the inhumane nature of serial killer documentary viewing. Regardless, I want to appreciate how marvelous it was that a victim of the school was the director of the documentary. This entirely eliminated any exploitative motive that could potentially disrupt the exposé. I've seen a few videos of Paris Hilton speaking of abuse she's suffered at the hands of such institutions but this really covered the unthinkable that occured. To really put it into perspective one of the victims of the schools said he loved his time in prison more than in the school because he had more freedom there. I would recommend watching this to remove the stigma surrounding "troubled teens" and just help this documentary gain more reach. It's just tragic they didn't have the means or power to actually cause suffrage to the authorities involved in WWASP (worldwide association of specialty programs and schools)
