Daughters of the Cult

I've only watched two episodes and I'm hooked. I remember this case well because one of my family members was one of the investigators on the case. He interviewed several of the family members, including Ervil himself, while he was in prison. Of course, he couldn't give me many details, but I think this was that case that drove him to retirement. He also investigated the death of Daniel Ben Jordan. I was just a kid myself. My family member was there at the funeral of Rulon Allred. I'm so grateful that nothing serious happened. He was also part of the investigation of the death of Daniel Ben Jordan and also attended that funeral.

I appreciate and was most impressed by the resiliency of Ervil's children who came forward to share this harrowing tale.

I am so glad I decided to check out this documentary. What a crazy story told from the perspective of these people who lives it. I am always fascinated by stories about people who join cults but to be born into one and grow up not realizing that you are in one is totally different ball game. I am so glad these brave survivors decided to tell us their story. If you have not watched yet, do yourself a favor and check it out. I binged all episodes in one night and I wish there were more. If any of the family reads this, I am so happy that you shared your story and I wish all nothing but the best!

Tge Daughters of the Cult is this years MUST SEE TV! I binged the series in JUST one day! It is so well done.....from the interviews, to the graphics.....everything! I had read Anna LeBaron's book, "The Polygamists Daughter," but this brought a different aspect, perspective and dimention. I loved how the siblings and cousins supported each other, and my heart ached for each and every of them. But through all the trauma and tragedy, they lay out a clear path of hope. I loved to see the family tree and paused it when it came on to study it. Don't hesitate to watch.....its amazing! Such a story of hope!!

I hadn't heard this story before, and it was really fascinating, but it was so dragged out and could easily have had less episodes. But the main let down was the interviews. Got quite repetitive at times. I'm not going to get personal in this public space but will note that people talking over each other, and interrupting each other, in the interviews was very hard to watch. Worth a watch. The old news footage and photos were also interesting. The expert and professional interviews were ok, definitely more interesting. However, I had to watch over several viewings, not a show to be binged to me.

A legendary cult monster and the children that escaped. This is their heroic story! You should also read the book, "The Polygamist's Daughter" as well as watch this series. This is the true accounts of the children of Ervil LeBaron and other family members as they recount the early days of life living in a cult. This is the dramatic story of young Anna. Watch as she tells her story of her daring escape as a young teen and her eventual reunification with her siblings later in life. How they all coped and the difficulty of living in fear of being caught and possibly killed for daring to leave!

This is a story of triumph, recovery, forgiveness, and God's Grace.
