Daughters of the Cult

I had read Anna LeBaron's book The Polygamist's Daughter but I still found myself staring open mouthed at the screen during some of the revelations in this documentary. There is something so powerful about hearing it straight from the survivors of a violent cult. No one knows how many children cult leader Ervil LeBaron had but estimates are at least 50. Many of his children and other relatives appear on screen to share their stories. I believe I binge watched this over two days, and I want more. We need a Part 2! The description of the 4 o'clock murders was so clear that it was more horrifying than reading about it. I loved the sibling relationships shown on screen and I wish these capital S Survivors all 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!!

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.

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!

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.
