Audio Documentary: Uncovering Cult Recovery - The angle
What is the angle of this project?
My Major Multimedia Project is an audio documentary called Uncovering Cult Recovery and it focuses on resources in the UK for ex cult members.
Cult recruiters brainwash and coercively control members, effectively meaning they forget how to think for themselves. They entirely lose their identity. This is a form of psychological abuse.
As this is a very complicated process, standard therapy alone is not appropriate for former cult members. Instead, a very specific type of psychotherapy is needed. Because of this and how hidden cults are in the UK, there are not a lot of resources in the UK for survivors. My project focuses on this. I chose audio as my platform as it is very important to hear the voices of those helping people who have been through these traumatic experiences. Audio was chosen over a video documentary as not only would it be difficult to get footage for this topic, but I did not want any visuals to take away from the stories being told.
