The Vow

Summary:

From Academy Award-nominated and Emmy-winning directors Jehane Noujaim and Karim Amer comes The Vow, a documentary series that takes a deep, nuanced look at the group NXIVM in the wake of charges of sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy. From TVGuide: No one ever thinks they’ll become the victim of a cult, but The Vow reveals just how easily it can be done when someone knows how to do it, and that is almost as horrifying as anything else depicted in the documentary, which is saying a lot.”
