Matt Roush says...
Annie’s Miss Hannigan looks like Mother Teresa compared with Miss Connie (Law & Order’s formidable Camryn Manheim), the brutal headmistress of a Utah youth residential treatment center in a fact-based melodrama. New teenage roomies Kayla (Kelcey Mawema) and Amanda (Morgan Taylor Campbell) team up to expose the abuse, which includes force-feeding, solitary confinement and verbal and physical assaults. After the movie, a Beyond the Headlines special features interviews with real-life survivors of the system.
