SYNOPSIS:
Cult of Personality reveals the shocking lives of notorious cult leaders. The series digs into the psyche of the leaders of destructive cults, their personal histories, their initial motivation and inspiration, and their final evolution into cult status. Before Jim Jones was the notorious leader of a death cult, he fought for social and civil rights. David Koresh, Charles Manson, Warren Jeffs, Jim Jones, and Marshall Applewhite, their names alone evoke a mix of fear and fascination. These are the charismatic and cruel leaders who all share a common messianic complex, appetite for violence, and the ability to make those around them succumb to their wishes at any cost – including kidnapping, death, and murder.
