Explore at the dark side of mind control, deception, fear and intimidation in the destructive experience of life inside two dangerous cults. Imagine a world where you weren’t free to do whatever you wanted – a world where someone else dictated how you should dress, think, feel and behave. This world is a reality for hundreds of people who belong to religious cults, where their leaders – or ‘prophets’– control everything from what they believe in to whom they marry. I Escaped The Cult takes an in-depth look at life inside some cults with extreme beliefs. For example meet members of a church where polygamy is insisted upon and a man can have dozens of wives; the followers who are sleep deprived, overworked and isolated from the rest of the world; and learn about the girl who watched her mother being forced to live in a shed for ‘idolizing her children. This probing show takes viewers on a journey to reveal the stories of courageous people who escaped the clutches of abuse, mind control and fear from these dangerous groups. http://natgeotv.com/uk/i-escaped-a-cult/about
