Cult expert Dr Christine Marie found herself in the unique position of becoming an FBI informant and taking down a cult leader - somewhat by accident. Alongside her filmmaker husband, they documented the process in the Netflix mini-series Trust Me: The False Prophet. But long before the documentary, Christine was herself a survivor of cult-based human trafficking. She talks to Mihingarangi Forbes about how that experience went on to shape her groundbreaking research into victim-blaming, public shame and media trauma.
