The Program: Cons, Cults, and Kidnapping (2024)

Review by kiwistar1991

The Program: Cons, Cults, and Kidnapping

10/10

Sometimes I drive past the academy in Bridge Oregon

It's closed down now and has been for years but they were ran by the same WWASP seminar bs. Every time I drove past it, I would get creepy bad vibes and after doing some research on it a couple years ago, I found out why. So many people online had horrible stories just like the ones shared in this documentary.

Bridge is isolated, nowhere near waking distance to anything but two lanes highway and never ending trees. There would be nowhere to go. No one to listen.

I found out they also had a sister school but they would send kids here from Fiji where again, the abuse was horrific.

The empty shell of the building in Oregon is all that's left of it but I'm sure the memories for those troubled teens sent there to "reform" live on.

I'd be curious to hear if anyone has any other stories or information about the Bridge academy or any others around the world. I'll definitely be picking up my journal and delving back into more research after watching this.

This was a very informative documentary, very well done, and told by a highly intelligent and brave group of people who lived it. I'm so sorry for anyone who had to go through any of this.
