5: Ben Shenton & The Family

Dave speaks with Ben Shenton about his upbringing in Australia's most notorious cult, The Family, founded by Anne Hamilton-Byrne, who claimed to be a Christ figure. Ben reflects on the influences that shaped Anne and her cult, as well as his experiences both in and after the cult. Ben's world was turned upside down at 15 years of age when police raided their home in 1987, bringing to light an illegal adoption scheme which forced the children to reckon with their past and future.
