Why did this movie make wilderness therapy palatable? I obviously believe there needs to be a larger spotlight on the abuse and toxicity that encompasses the troubled teen industry, but at several points in this movie I questioned if that was the motive? It seemed to support the harmful narrative that such programs actually do what they falsely advertise to do, with a small side of abuse.
