Great documentary. Wished they didn’t use AI to replace the faces and just blurred them out instead

Are there laws against cults in the States or what, cause there should be! Terrifying that so many people are being born into this system and they don’t even stand a chance and will never have the opportunity to think for themselves or challenge their beliefs. These poor women, truly frightening what lengths men go to.

The strength lies in the relationships that the documentarian builds with the FLDS women, who are portrayed less as fanatical lunatics, but as people trapped in an abusive system. Without her, I shudder to think how long the abuse could have gone on. Bateman was truly disturbing.

A deeply frustrating watch. It’s heartbreaking to see the level of brainwashing and trauma inflicted on women and children within these secluded communities. This documentary serves as yet another grim case study of how a deluded, powerful man can exploit the vulnerable. Furthermore, it highlights the staggering inadequacy of government intervention, which often allows these situations to fester for years. These stories are chilling reminders that one person’s ego can derail the lives of entire generations. I sincerely hope every woman and child featured can find a path toward recovery and peace.

Trust Me: The False Prophet
Trust Me: The False Prophet is a disturbing true-crime documentary that explores how one person can use trust, religion, and manipulation to gain control over others. The documentary follows the story of a self-proclaimed spiritual leader and the people who became caught up in his influence. As the story unfolds, viewers see how promises of guidance and belonging can be used to manipulate vulnerable people.
One of the most interesting parts of the documentary is how it examines the way trust is built gradually. The people involved did not immediately recognize that they were being manipulated. Instead, the leader gained their confidence over time and used his position of authority to influence their choices. This makes the documentary especially unsettling because it demonstrates how manipulation can happen slowly and may not be obvious to the people experiencing it.
The interviews and personal stories are some of the strongest parts of the documentary. Hearing directly from people affected by the situation helps viewers understand the emotional damage caused by deception and betrayal. It also shows how difficult it can be for someone to question a person they have been taught to respect or believe in.
I found Trust Me: The False Prophet both fascinating and disturbing. It made me think about how easily authority can be abused when people are discouraged from questioning what they are being told. The documentary also shows why critical thinking and recognizing warning signs of manipulation are so important.
Overall, I would recommend Trust Me: The False Prophet to viewers who enjoy true-crime documentaries and stories about psychology and human behavior. It is uncomfortable to watch at times, but it provides an important look at manipulation, trust, and the consequences that can occur when someone uses another person’s beliefs against them.

Es muy fuerte saber que al final de todo lo que pasó en el anterior todavía continuó con todo esto, ese señor, y que todas esas chicas de verdad creían que estaba bien incluso terminaron ellas mismas en la cárcel por obstrucción de la ley o secuestro.
Pero buen documental.

The behind-the-scenes stuff was super cool. Insane undercover work. Also some of the people in this documentary might be competing for the lowest collective IQ I’ve ever seen. How do you keep falling for this shit

What an emotional documentary 🥺 the biggest revelation for me was Julia, what a brave woman even though she was afraid, she did everything she could to save her children. The doc is very intriguing and it keeps you engaged all the time!

Trust Me: The False Prophet
The buildup to all of it was just insane, how the bureaucracy of it all works and what can get someone convicted or not, just NUTS. Also when are these people going to realise that their religion is a predators’ paradise???

This was a very interesting & complex documentary. What an awful ordeal for those girls and my heart broke for the powerless mum. But seriously, that first policeman needs his devices checking 👀. Seriously bad vibes from him at the off. Christine is a force to be reckoned with.
