The Dark Allure of Cults: A Complex Web of Human Emotions Guy Nattiv's new film, "The Liberation," tells a haunting story about a Holocaust survivor who joins a cult in the 1980s, leaving behind her family and seeking spiritual fulfillment.
Drawing from his own family history, Nattiv takes creative liberties to explore the complexities of human emotions.
The film's themes are timely, given our current cultural fascination with cults and charismatic leaders. One striking aspect of "The Liberation" is its portrayal of a female cult leader, Ricki, played by Lily James.
