Les Enfants perdus de Tranquility Bay
Jean-Robert Viallet, Mathieu Verboud
2005 - 90 min - DV Cam - Couleur - France

The eyes of the world are turned toward Guantanamo and Abu Ghraib, but no one has ever heard of Tranquility Bay, a reformatory in which detained children endure physical violence and brainwashing. This program is run by the WWASP, World Wide Association of Specialty Programs and Schools, which is run by Utah businessmen attached to the patriarchal and authoritarian values of Mormon fundamentalism.
