More about How I Escaped My Cult

How I Escaped My Cult presents to viewers a glimpse at what goes on inside a cult, as retold by ex-cult members themselves who have shared their traumatic experiences of being a part of a cult. The docuseries also presents us with investigations into these oppressive groups that helped bring these cult leaders and organizers to justice. Each of the 10 episodes follows a unique and harrowing journey of a survivor starting from their indoctrination up until their escape.

The official trailer for the new series, released by Freeform, gives us a glimpse at 10 women who unpack the terrifying journey that they had to undergo to break free from the cults they were once a part of.

The women explain how members of the cult are brainwashed and soon it becomes their only reality. Talking about a cult leader, one subject in the trailer shared, “He claimed he heard the voice of God,” while another explained how “members were giving over entire paychecks — he’d grab us by the throat and slam us against the wall.”

They have recalled the harrowing instances they witnessed during their time at the cult and have recalled how their gut instinct was to escape and how they pulled it off.

How I Escaped My Cult follows the story of these survivors through their escapes to the reporting of the cult leaders to the FBI.
