Welcome to /r/BestOfAmazonPrime! As the name suggests, this is a place to post about the “best” movies and TV shows Amazon Prime has to offer. We encourage you to share what you’ve found on the streaming platform. Please make sure to follow the rules when submitting or commenting on posts:
Title your submissions properly: /r/BestOfAmazonPrime is adopting the successful formatting rules from similar subs -- we’re requiring users add the region, title, and year in their post titles. More information on formatting is available here.
Only share content available on Prime Video: This subreddit is for sharing content available via Prime. If it requires payment (i.e., rental or purchase), this isn’t the sub for it.
No spoilers: Amazon Prime is home to some current popular shows, like /r/TheExpanse, /r/TheMarvelousMrsMaisel, /r/TheBoys, and /r/TalesFromTheLoopTV. Please do not post show spoilers without using a spoiler tag. More information on the spoiler tag is available here.
No spam, no blogs, no self-promotion: There are dozens of blogs that cover Prime, including ones that aggregate what’s being added or removed to Prime monthly. If you want to discuss that, submit a text post (without a link to a blog, YouTube video, or other piece of off-channel media). That said, this is also not a subreddit for self-promotion. If you’re not following redditquette guidelines on contributions, or sharing referral links, your submission may be removed.
Keep it civil: “Best” is subjective. Keep discussions, even disagreements, civil. Uncivil comments are subject to removal, regardless of content, and repeated offenses can lead to bans.
If you see something you believe violates the rules, please use the report feature.

[US] The Last Stop (2017) shocking Documentary -The Elan School was the last stop. Set deep in the woods of Maine, Elan delivered controversial therapy to troubled teens. It was a meat grinder of raw emotion and harsh discipline. Some say it sold hope; others say it sold Hell.

Deep Dive into the story - https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/the-last-stop--3#/
Formally known as a residential behavior modification program and therapeutic community, Élan specialized in treating troubled youths with severe emotional and behavioral problems through an extreme mix of military, public humiliation, heavy surveillance, thought reform, group psychotherapy and milieu therapy tactics.
It was hailed by many to have been a last resort saving grace for incorrigible delinquent teens in crisis. Supporters of Élan ranged from thousands of former students and parents to hundreds of psychologists, social workers, educational officials and national associations, many of whom have praised its tough love tactics. However, for every riveting success story that credits Élan with saving their life, there is a broken adult unable to recover from the harrowing trauma they faced there as a youth.
The film’s title, “The Last Stop,” alludes to the program’s frequently repeated mantra, “This is your last stop. Without Élan, it’s either jail or death.” Failure to assimilate could give rise to residents facing isolation for months, compulsory resident-on-resident boxing matches, being yelled at and degraded by dozens of peers simultaneously, the use of straightjackets, forced ditch digging, mandated donning of degrading costumes and signs, or the use of “electric sauce,” a mixture of garbage and feces poured over the heads of residents who needed discipline. These tactics and others were known as “attack therapy.” The concept was, “That which doesn't kill you, makes you stronger.” A philosophically sound concept, that went dangerously awry.
