I thought this doco was well made. It let the footage of this camp speak for itself. When I saw it, I felt very sorry for the lady leading the camp. I didn't despise her, I felt bad for her. It seems like there's some self-hate going on.
As for the taping the mouth thing, it's a common form of protest used by pro-lifers. I've seen grown adults, old people and kids with their mouths taped shut protesting in front of the Supreme Court. I think the kids were just joining in.
What made me sad was the one kid they kept showing that was actually crying his eyes out all the time. I mean, he was being traumatized by the whole thing, it was alarming.
The camp has been shut down from what I hear. The facility was vandalized after the doco came out in theatres.
I think more people should see this one. It's fascinating.
