About the show
Multi-tiered stories of dysfunctional relationships.

All the cult members have signed legal documents renouncing their families, friends and all contact with the outside world.
The Cast
Directed by Peter Burger
Michael isn’t alone: there are others who’ve lost people close to them. Worried by cult movements and compounds of the past – Jonestown, Heaven’s Gate, Waco – Michael and the rest of the ‘Liberators’ begin to investigate what they can do to get their loved ones out.
What the critics said
"One of the biggest, most exciting new productions in local television history.""
"The definition of cinema of the unease. The Cult is cult viewing."
