Bring Me the Beauties: A Model Cult on HBO
It's a documentary on what was known as the Model Cult back in 1980's New York. The group was called Eternal Values and led by Fredrick von Mierers. He recruited young models and professionals with his New Age teachings.
It's told by several past members with top male model at that time Hoyt Richards (Princeton Grad) being the main person telling the story.
I've always wondered why highly educated people are so susceptible to joining cults. I've seen some other cult documentaries on Scientology and NXIVM with Keith Raniere for example.
What I've determined is you have to be receptive to this type brain washing because of searching for something spiritual / religious etc..
And what I've concluded is people who can't be hypnotized and are not religious and have a good working bullshit meter is the best protection from falling victim to a cult.
