10 Documentaries About Cults That Will Shock and Fascinate You

Sons of Perdition follows the lives of a group of teenage boys who were exiled from their families and community by Warren Jeffs, the former leader of the FLDS Church (Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints). After violating minor, yet strict, rules of the church — such as communicating with girls or listening to music — the boys were shunned. The documentary showcases how they struggled to adjust to life outside of the religious community they had known their whole lives; many faltered, even turning to drugs, alcohol, and crime.
