Why this pick
A more survivor-centred companion to The Vow, using firsthand testimony to examine coercion, loyalty, and the painful process of recognising manipulation.
Why this pick
Its close observation of a modern spiritual teacher and his followers carries the same unnerving interest in charisma, dependency, and blurred lines between self-help and control.
Why this pick
A personal investigation into an abusive behaviour-modification system, balancing survivor testimony with a meticulous, emotionally escalating look at institutional coercion.
Why this pick
For The Vow's morally complicated cult dynamics and extensive archival investigation, this expands the scale to a community in conflict with the world around it.

01 / THE STORY
An introspective look at the NXIVM cult founded by Keith Raniere and Nancy Salzman in 1998. Though the organization claimed to provide personal and professional improvement opportunities to those who joined, it has since made headlines for various charges brought against its leaders, including sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy.
