Hi all,

My friend and I have begun a routine of watching cult, cons, & coercion documentaries together. I’m wondering if there are any really good ones that I’m missing - specifically about women-led cults, woman scammers, con artists, or others that are within that vibe. (To be clear - we aren’t women haters haha we’re just tired of watching the ones about men)

Documentaries I’ve seen so far include:

• Our all-time favorite, Anatomy of Lies on Peacock

• A handful of docs and biopic style dramas about Elizabeth Holmes, Sherri Papini, Belle Gibson, Anna Delvey, Lori Vallow, and Jodi Hildebrandt

• most on HBO Max (Love has Won, The Way Down about Gwen Shamblin, Breath of Fire about the Kundalini girl)

• one about Teal Swan on Amazon Prime

• Scamanda on Hulu

• Maternal Instinct, A Toxic Love Story, and Con Mum on Netflix

I may be forgetting a couple but please let me know if you know of any that fit into this general vibe! Thank you so much.
