About
"Inside a cult, through the believers' own footage"
This documentary follows a group of ambitious, successful people drawn into NXIVM, a self-improvement organization that promised personal transformation but concealed something far darker. Told largely through footage its own members shot at the time, plus after-the-fact interviews, it traces how smart people got pulled in and how some eventually broke away. The tone is patient and unnerving rather than sensational, more interested in psychology than shock value. It's slow-burning and occasionally frustrating in its pacing, but the access is remarkable, and watching the members' realization unfold in real time is genuinely disturbing.
the unsettling firsthand footage members filmed of themselves while still inside the group.
you want a tightly paced true-crime story rather than a slow psychological unraveling.
