Coldwater

Coldwater (2013) is an American drama-thriller directed by Vincent Grashaw — watch online on iFILM. A teenager gets shipped to a rural juvenile reform camp run like a military operation, and the fight to get through each day is the whole story.

Brad Landers arrives at a remote facility commanded by a retired war colonel played by James C. Burns. No phone calls, no legal help, no real oversight. The other kids have already sorted themselves into a brutal pecking order, and the staff believe hard discipline is the only treatment that sticks. P.J. Boudousqué plays Brad as the film slowly reveals what landed him here — and the backstory makes the present worse, not easier.

Grashaw keeps the film lean: no manipulative score, no tidy resolution. Just a place where the rules exist to break people, and a question of what gets left when that process is done. Stream Coldwater (2013) online on iFILM.
