Summary:

Teen camps have become a staple of America's youth rehabilitation system. The scale is vast: every year an estimated 5,000 children are sent to one of 1,000 or more centres dotted across the country. These camps are recommended by teen psychologists, or are sought out by parents, often at considerable expense. Not infrequently, children are forcibly removed, on the request of the parents, from their home and taken to a programme, sometimes hundreds of miles away, by a professional transporter. This documentary explores the controversial issue of the aggressive behavioural modification and confrontational methods these camps employ, with exclusive access to several facilities across the US, the people who run them, and the families that send their children away.
