This camp was shut down after this wasn't it?

I saw the movie and I agree that it's an extreme example of indoctrination. I think the kids were being exposed to emotions and ideas way before they should have been; there's no way a 7 year old should be weeping because they are convinced they are terrible, that they have evil things that need to be fixed.

And yeah the Haggard part was amusing in retrospect.

Overall though I thought it was a pretty fair movie though, they didn't do it as a hit piece, it was more just an honest "here's what goes on". I've personally seen most of the kinds of things shown.

There was a Google video of this but it's been removed I think.

An HBO one along the same lines: http://www.hbo.com/docs/programs/fri...god/index.html
