I recently watched Unchosen on Netflix, a series about a fictitious cult in England, and the disturbing themes it explores make for riveting viewing.
*The following contains spoilers*
One of the real strengths of this show which was released last month, is that it was not based on any specific cult and therefore it could explore some of the darkest aspects of cult life without any fear of repercussions.
At the centre of this Christian cult known as The Fellowship of the Divine is the patriarchal system in place that not only subjugates women but instills a system of rape culture.
