Narrated by Michael Dean
Can Adventure Training rehabilitate young criminals? Inspired by the British ' Outward Bound ' movement, the American Vision-Quest team now confront their unruly youngsters with a series of tough challenges in the wilderness on New Mexico's Gila mountains. The Wagon Train programme has proved so successful that today, three ' trains' are on the road at the same time. Producer Bob Saunders talks to some of the youngsters who were given their ' last chance' on the Wagon Train three years ago, to find out why the scheme appears to work.
