Title: I can't remember....
Post by: jjpinks on December 18, 2007, 08:29:19 PM: wasn't there a movie that was shown on TV back in 1984 that was supposedly shot in Straight or LIFE? I seem to recall watching it when I was locked up in hell. I just can't remember the name of it or where it was shot. I do however, vividly remember seeing a big white van (kind of like a church van) opening up and seeing a bunch of teenagers being held by their beltloops and being guided into a building. Does anyone remember this movie???

Thank you in advance!

I remember it as well. I remember getting mad because in the show they showed the oldcomer with their hand on the newcomer shoulder, not the oldcomer twisting the belt loop and latching on to the back of the pants.

They watered it down on TV so that uncertain potential parents would be more easily coerced.

I've been trying for last couple years to find it.

And has taken me this long to speak about it at all!
