Cult Breakers

Synopsis: The Church of Christ is one of the world’s fastest growing cults and is alleged to use techniques of mind control on its members. Mike and Gill West-Eacott enrolled the services of a ‘cult breaker’ - a counsellor who specialises in persuading cult followers to return to normal life - after discovering that their daughter joined the group. Using hidden cameras, the programme follows the attempts to persuade Alison to leave the Church of Christ and examines the techniques used by both cult and cult breaker.
