Takes a deep dive into the rise and fall of the evangelical couple and subsequent cult leaders, Susan and Tony Alamo. Through rarely-seen archival footage, including an exclusive video-taped deposition with Alamo, himself, as well as evocative cinematic scenes, the series unveils a bizarre tale that spans five decades and brings to life the bone-chilling stories of ordinary people who endured extraordinary circumstances.
The saga weaves accounts of Susan and Tony’s dominance over their followers, the violence and abuse used to enforce obedience, and the Alamos’ uncanny double life as they pursue the quest for power and financial gain. Interviews from victims who have never previously shared their ordeal, as well as those who still blindly worship their late leader, cast a glaring spotlight on decades of exploitation.
