Everyman

Transformation Express (1979x23)

Air date: Nov 25, 1979

Fifty-eight people assemble in a hotel room in London. For three long days they will do as they are told: leaving their seats only with the permission of the trainers, voluntarily submitting themselves to abuse, humiliation, and physical stress. The goal is ' enlightenment ', and they pay the high fee and accept the high pressure because they hope it will bring them enlightenment fast. Everyman follows one ' transformation seminar ' from Friday morning to Sunday night; examines the techniques which critics call brain-washing; and finds out what the weekend does to those who make it to the end.
