Cults On Our Doorstep
While we are dealing with the horrific secrets uncovered by the Royal Commission into Child Abuse of the Catholic Church, another disturbing case of child abuse and manipulation is recalled in the just released documentary “The Family.” In this disturbing documentary about the operation of a cult ran by yoga teacher, Anne Hamilton-Byre, who claimed to be the reincarnation of Jesus Christ, we witness a bizarre cult that tortured and experimented with LSD on adopted children in their care.
Stephen Hill spoke to film director Rosie Jones about this dark, secretive organisation and the damaged lives that would be a by-product of the deranged drive for absolute power.
