If you haven't already, I cannot recommend Ali Millar's memoir The Last Days highly enough. Having had the misfortune of growing up in the same high control religion as Ali, I can tell you that every page burns true.

Oh, John. I'm so sorry to hear about your experience. I'll add it to my tbr!

Thanks Eleanor. I could never articulate as powerfully as Ali does. And of course, it must be owned that whilst we experienced much that was frighteningly similar, being a boy/man in such an extreme patriarchy, whilst not protecting you from all harm, is a big advantage.

If you’re looking for another film about cults that’s more satisfying than it sounds this Unchosen is, I’d recommend Faults.
