10 Documentaries About Cults That Will Shock and Fascinate You

Inspired by the book of the same name by Sam Bower, Showtime's documentary Prophet's Prey investigates the life and crimes of Warren Jeffs, the currently incarcerated leader of the FLDS Church (Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints). With interviews from church members, as well as victims of his crimes, the documentary strives to understand how an abusive predator such as Jeffs could maintain the loyalty of over 5,000 followers, as well as leadership of the fundamentalist religious group.
