After a lifetime mourning the disappearance of her young daughter, Laura Fields forms a support agency to help other grieving parents of lost children and finds herself drawn into the dangerous and entangled world of cults.


The lives of five desperate families collide as the CultAssist team battles to break the spell unscrupulous spiritual leaders have over their loved ones. Will they escape the cults before their lives are destroyed and the families irreconcilably ripped apart?


Based on true stories from the case files of Raphael Aron, Director of Cult Consulting Australia, Bound by Belief highlights a basic human instinct-the need to belong. It demonstrates how individuals, family and society play a pivotal role in providing protection from the destructive influences of organisations seeking to deprive their followers of their identity and sense of self-a timely message in an increasingly uncertain world.
