Religious groups: social & cultural aspects

Bexy Cameron explores her childhood in the notorious cult Children of God, where the concept of family means something very different to what we are all used to. At the same time, she details her adult attempt to make a documentary about other cults, where she spent a year travelling across America with her best friend in search of answers to the questions about cults that fascinate us all. On this road trip Bexy is forced to confront her past: her adolescence spent in total silence (as punishment for being ‘difficult’), the abuse she suffered from various members of the church and, most powerfully of all, her relationship with her parents, who are still members of the Children of God today.
