Students who attended the Anglican boarding school in eastern Ontario suffered abuse
It was a boarding school that promised a Christian education and tough love.
But nearly 1,400 students who attended the now-closed Grenville Christian College in eastern Ontario say it was not only tough but brutal, relying on emotional and physical abuse to keep students in line.
The Fifth Estate examines what happened, how it could have been allowed and what role was played by another religious organization in the U.S. that some have referred to as a cult.
You can watch the investigation above or stream it on Gem with described video.
