Groups frighten me. With Destructive Cults we have good reason to be. Film completed in 1999 Shot on 16mm with bolex, Arri SR and Eclair cameras.

A documentary film about Lance J Christie, a former member of the Exclusive Brethren Church who has blown the whistle on the coercive strategies of control they use to entrap victims. Free Indeed is a documentary telling the story of Lance's excommunication from the Exclusive Brethren and his subsequent total separation from his family, friends and business. Lance was shunned in 2017 and has since been shining a light on the nefarious tactics that are sadly used to coerce and control the lives of thousands of innocent victims still afraid to speak out for fear of the same depriving treatment that Lance has been subject to. "The shunning policy is incredibly cruel, not only to those who are shunned, but to those who are expected to shun. I’ve had my arms around mothers who are sobbing because they haven’t seen or heard from their child in years, and feel that God demands that of them. That is something to be afraid of." The Family Survival Trust — Coercive Control in Cultic Groups in the United Kingdom, 2022 The documentary captures a very personal and intimate story that reveals how cults and other coercively controlling groups use the same patterns of behaviour for the purpose of control and exploitation of individuals and groups.

It features an interview with Roger Stott subject of the Costa-Award-winning 'In the Days of Rain' (2017) written by his daughter Rebecca Stott.

*Trigger warning* *Discussion regarding sexual abuse* Viewer and listener discretion is advised Lara invites us into her harrowing story while inside the PBCC. She recounts how she tried to get help regarding her abuse and how she was even sent to Maple Creek! At the time Lara’s abuse was happening there were 23 members and of those there are potentially 10 children as victims of sexual abuse. She takes us through what it was like to be a female within the church and how "women were slaves". Her heart wrenching story on the day she left, brought us all to tears as we all knew of the pain she described. We dive into the leaders promise of the rapture and the lies covered up during a split in the 60's called Aberdeen. Could this have been the open door for abuse to be so widely accepted? Cheryl also gives us an update on the investigation in Maple Creek.

An honest and self-aware narcissist would describe his or her inner world this way: "I want to tell you how much I am afraid of pain. To me, it is a pebble in Indra's Net - lift it and the whole net revives. My pains do not come isolated - they live in families of anguish, in tribes of hurt, whole races of agony. I cannot experience them insulated from their kin. They rush to drown me through the demolished floodgates of my childhood. These floodgates, my inner dams - this is my narcissism, there to contain the ominous onslaught of stale emotions, repressed rage, a child's injuries. Pathological narcissism is useful - this is why it is so resilient and resistant to change. When it is "invented" by the tormented individual - it enhances his functionality and makes life bearable for him. Because it is so successful, it attains religious dimensions - it become rigid, doctrinaire, automatic and ritualistic. In other words, it becomes a PATTERN of behaviour. I am a narcissist and I can feel this rigidity as though it were an outer shell. It constrains me. It limits me. It is often prohibitive and inhibitive. I am afraid to do certain things. I am injured or humiliated when forced to engage in certain activities. I react with rage when the mental edifice supporting my disorder is subjected to scrutiny and criticism - no matter how benign. Narcissism is ridiculous. I am pompous, grandiose, repulsive and contradictory. There is a serious mismatch between who I really am and what I really achieved - and how I feel myself to be. It is not that I THINK that I am far superior to other humans intellectually. Thought implies volition - and willpower is not involved here. My superiority is ingrained in me, it is a part of my every mental cell, an all-pervasive sensation, an instinct and a drive. I feel that I am entitled to special treatment and outstanding consideration because I am such a unique specimen. I know this to be true - the same way you know that you are surrounded by air. It is an integral part of my identity. More integral to me than my body. This opens a gap - rather, an abyss - between me and other humans. Because I consider myself so special, I have no way of knowing how it is to be THEM. In other words, I cannot empathize. Can you empathize with an ant? Empathy implies identity or equality, both abhorrent to me. And being so inferior, people are reduced to cartoonish, two-dimensional representations of functions. They become instrumental or useful or functional or entertaining - rather than loving or interacting emotionally. It leads to ruthlessness and exploitativeness. I am not a bad person - actually, I am a good person. I have helped people - many people - all my life. So, I am not evil. What I am is indifferent. I couldn't care less. I help people because it is a way to secure attention, gratitude, adulation and admiration. And because it is the fastest and surest way to get rid of them and their incessant nagging. I realize these unpleasant truths cognitively - but there is no corresponding emotional reaction (emotional correlate) to this realization. There is no resonance. It is like reading a boring users' manual pertaining to a computer you do not even own. It is like watching a movie about yourself. There is no insight, no assimilation of these truths. When I write this now, I feel like writing the script of a mildly interesting docudrama. It is not I. Still, to further insulate myself from the improbable possibility of confronting these facts - the gulf between reality and grandiose fantasy (the Grandiosity Gap, in my writings) - I came up with the most elaborate mental structure, replete with mechanisms, levers, switches and flickering alarm lights. My narcissism does two things for me - it always did: 1. Isolate me from the pain of facing reality; 2. Allow me to inhabit the fantasyland of ideal perfection and brilliance. These once-vital function are bundled in what is known to psychologists as my 'False Self'."
