Branded & Brainwashed: Inside Nxivm

Genesis of a 21st Century cult.

Written by
Runtime
87 min
Documentary

Synopsis

At first glance, it seemed completely innocent: Keith Raniere’s self-help group had numerous celebrity and everyday devotees. All were looking to improve their lives. But among the group’s inner sanctum something much more sinister was at play. Driven by lust, greed, and a desire to dominate, Raniere blackmailed, brainwashed, and branded handpicked female members who he subjugated and pushed into sexual slavery.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 19

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
