...that most of the non-interview footage was shot by the members, and not the film crew. If the the producers were actually watching this happen, then it would make them complicit with the insanity., and the result.
The cult was populated with seriously mentally disturbed people, and of course Mother was quite unstable.
I somehow managed to sit through the three episodes, feeling queasy watching any of it. I hoped to glean SOMETHING from all of this, but alas, no.
I am fascinated by the cult documentaries, and have watched many of them, but non quite this bonkers. Everyone in this small group was/is troubled. And even after everything that happened, those interviewed appear to express no "rethinking," of what happened.
This was not the typical "brain-washing" cult, but merely a gathering of people who apparently needed psychological assistance from an early age.
It just made my skin crawl.
