Synanon Short Film

The story of Synanon, the renegade cult led by Charles Dederich, and the battle waged by a young lawyer named Paul Morantz on behalf of the people trapped inside this renegade organization. Synanon attempted to murder Paul Morantz, but he persevered, and ultimately won, freeing children and reuniting families, and creating the legal battle that would unravel Dederich's house of cards.

The background music makes it hard to hear the dialogue.

Yes! I agree with wdtony's response. Add CEDU and The Cascade School to the list of brainwash camps.

I can't believe THAT guy is Chatles Dederich.

It's great to see history of where programs like STRAIGHT Inc., The SEED, KIDS, Kids Helping Kids, Pathway Family Center, Alberta Adolescent Recovery Centre, SAFE, Growing Together, Possibilities Unlimited, Phoenix House, Daytop Village, as well as a multitude of other abusive brainwashing camps posing as drug rehab centers for teens came from.
