And I want to make it clear, this film is about shedding light on the Troubled Teen industry as a whole - the techniques they use, the institutions that operate all over the world, teens that are sent to those places for a wide variety of reasons. We just use the stories we captured as examples.

A few reasons: they're not bound by US Laws, it's further for any US citizens to "interfere" with what the camp was doing, cheaper to run the facility, and lastly the entire idea of "culture shock therapy" is based on taking a teen out of their normal environment to "reprogram them" - a foreign country.

The best part of Kate's journey is what WHILE FILMING you can see her transition from having one religious view, to questioning that view, to changing things in terms of what she found herself to truly believe.

The staff were not associated with any specific denomination. They were just operating a "Christian reform school" as they liked to call it.

"Escuela Caribe" closed... then reopened under a different name, in the SAME place with much of the SAME staff.
