"I know what you need," she told the mother, her voice a calm promise. What followed was a decade of psychological control, disguised as spiritual guidance. This chilling documentary (2025) chronicles the rise and fall of Jodi Hildebrandt, a family counselor whose methods crossed into criminal abuse. Through interviews and legal testimony, the film dissects how trust was weaponized, isolating victims within a constructed reality. A true-crime documentary that maps the anatomy of manipulation, revealing the profound damage inflicted under the banner of help.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The direction is restrained and analytical, letting the facts build their own case. The camera captures not just events, but the digital ecosystem that enabled the manipulation.

It's for viewers drawn to psychology and the dark undercurrents of online influence. You're left with a disquieting awareness about the fragility of trust. — MovieFinder Editorial
