"Trust Me: The False Prophet" Netflix Documentary Reaction - #220

About this episode

The episode discusses the Netflix documentary about Samuel Bateman and the complexities of belief and control within a fractured community.

A rising prophet, a fractured FLDS community, and the shadow of Warren Jeffs set the stage for the story of Samuel Bateman and the unsettling power he claimed. Hidden recordings, shifting loyalties, and the presence of Christine Marie and Tolga Katas reveal a world where belief and control blur in unexpected ways. What unfolds raises deeper disturbing questions about influence, trust, and how far people will go in the name of faith.
