Kidnapped for Christ
“Conform. Or be conformed.”
Kidnapped For Christ tells the shocking stories of American teenagers who were taken from their homes and shipped to Escuela Caribe, an American-run Christian behavior modification program in the Dominican Republic. The film centers on David, a straight-A student who was sent to Escuela Caribe because he is gay and his parents can't deal with the situation. When a young evangelical filmmaker is granted unprecedented access to film behind the gates of this controversial school, she discovers shocking secrets and young students that change her life.
This documentary is a harrowing look at a faith-based institution that inflicts emotional and psychological trauma. It's a deeply unsettling and infuriating watch, exposing the devastating consequences of conversion therapy on vulnerable teens.
