In Ondi Timoner’s chilling exposé, four families flee their pseudo-Christian pastor and check into a prominent cult-victim treatment facility where counseling uncovers the twisted pathway that led to the sacrifice of family, job, finances, ethics and, finally, individuality in order to benefit the church. But they will not feel a true sense of closure until they return to the community they built and attempt to seek justice. Shooting in visceral cinéma vérité style, Timoner launches viewers onto a rollercoaster ride that deftly examines the nature of belief and belonging in a nation that boasts an estimated 5,000 cults.
