We Warned Them: Freedom Village
Margaret Mayer
6 episodes
1 week ago
These are the accounts of students attending Freedom Village, the self-proclaimed premiere home for troubled teens. Shielded from the scrutiny of the public by its seclusion in a sparsely populated region nearby Rochester New York, it maintained its reputation and relationships with conservative fundamentalist religious organizations and operated as a state-sanctioned method of behavioral therapy. What is the long term aftermath for the thousands who passed through these doors? And what can these stories tell us about the multi-billion dollar troubled teen industry?

When Is It Over? The Aftermath

Shame, sexuality, flashbacks. What is the true legacy of the Freedom Village? To answer that question, Margaret talks with past interviewees and hears how their experiences of exploitation, and even conversion therapy have impacted their lives, often for years, decades, and even generations after leaving the Village. Maggie's knowledge as a clinical therapist helps us to uncover some of the more insidious psychological consequences of the treatments administered to the Village’s wards.
