Even if you imprison the head of a cult (in this case, Warren Jeffs, who\u2019s serving a life sentence in Texas for child sexual assault), there\u2019s always another opportunist waiting in the wings. This four\u2011parter follows the ascent of Samuel Bateman, who positioned himself as Jeffs\u2019s successor to The Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (FLDS) movement. Told through the perspective of Christine Marie, a cult expert, she embeds herself in Short Creek, Utah, to support a fractured community vulnerable to a new \u201cprophet\u201d. As she gains access to Bateman\u2019s inner circle, she uncovers behaviour that necessitates intervention. With first-hand testimony and unprecedented visibility into the group, the series exposes the extent of Bateman\u2019s influence. Directed by Emmy and Peabody winner Rachel Dretzin (Keep Sweet: Pray and Obey), this docuseries examines recurring patterns of abuse inside one of America\u2019s most insular religious communities.<\/p>\n
