A promise of transformation and a journey into the unknown. 'The Cult' takes us from first contact to total immersion, revealing the control and ascension that define the cycle of a cult. This phenomenon, which has persisted through the years, offers a chilling sociological glimpse into the timeless quest for belonging and meaning.
INITIATION. First contact and the promise of a transformed life.
IMMERSION. Delving deeper into the community and beliefs.
CONTROL. Gradually exerting influence over decisions and thoughts.
ASCENSION. The promise of a brighter future.
