Local filmmaker Leslie Koren attempts to connect the dots of her disjointed memories of time spent at a behavior modification boarding school in hopes of alleviating her crippling PTSD and shame about her high school years. Through conversations with her parents, and former staff and students from the school, she questions who, if anyone,deserves this type of treatment. The result is a deeply personal and ultimately healing exploration of her experience.
