TV documentary on cults: anyone want to take part?
Posted: 23 Jan 2015
Hi all,
A TV company is making a documentary on cults, to be broadcast on Channel 5. The focus will be on how cults ensnare people, what happens inside cults and how people get out and recover. I've spoken to the researchers at length about my own experiences with the BKs, but ultimately decided not to take part as you never know quite how you are going to be portrayed on TV and I did not want to take the risk that either me or my family would come across in a way that I don't like. I got the impression that the documentary makers really do want to produce a useful public information documentary, but I also know that media researchers tell you what you want to hear, so I decided not to risk it in the end.
However, they are keen to feature something on the BKs, so if anyone does want to speak to them, send me a private message and I will pass your details on to the researcher. I'd rather not say which company is making the documentary or share the researcher's contact details on this public forum.
