"It does give us a good account of Christian Fundamentalism and how it operates. It’s disturbing to see how women and children are treated and what they can get away with!"

"Definitely gets to the core of the craziness! I truly cannot get over Bill Gothard being unmarried and childless. Such a MESS! Definitely watch this! "

"Oh look another white supremacist cult weeding it's way into politics through abuse unde the name of religion. Can we just clean house already?"

"This is such a good documentary on the Christian fundamentalism that we ignore the harmful effects of a lot of the time because it seems mild compared to cults like the FLDS. "

"A deep dive into a very close-knit community. I could relate to a lot of parts of this and it’s so unfortunate that very real trauma emerges from stories like these, which often gets swept under the rug. This documentary does a great job at shedding light on the stories of the voiceless. "
