Quick Answer: Currently, Daughters of the Cult can only be streamed on Hulu with an active subscription.
As told through the eyes of those who experienced it firsthand, Daughters of the Cult is a five-episode docuseries that releases January 4th on Hulu and trails the polygamous Ervil LeBaron group and the women who endured decades of violence and abuse.
Established in 1972 after LeBaron murdered his nephew for control, the Church of the First Born of the Lamb of God has since incited violence among its followers. The subset of Mormon fundamentalists committed dozens of assassinations in an attempt to maintain status and power, including the murder of leaders in competing groups, FLDS and the Salt Lake City Kingston clan. Though LeBaron died in prison in 1981, his teachings continued, Orson William Black being the latest public member taken into custody in 2017.
“He felt like there was nothing he could do that was wrong,” Ron Rohbock, a former FLDS member, told Rolling Stone after the arrest of Black, emphasizing the delusion of the cult and its leaders.
Daughters of the Cult paints a picture of fear as survivors, relatives of killers, and law enforcement come forward about a madman on the hunt for blood. Though brutal, the series also depicts triumph, healing, and sisterhood for the fearless who escaped and tried to begin anew.
