1:02Now PlayingDr. Steven Hassan was fully indoctrinated—so loyal to the Moonies that he’d rather kill him and die than leave the dangerous cult. But when his dad broke down in tears, something cracked—and it was the first step toward freedom.
👀 Cults depend on fear, isolation, and phobia indoctrination to maintain control. Unwavering loyalty isn’t love—it’s mind control. And sometimes, all it takes is one human moment to break the spell.
🧠 Watch the full video where Dr. Hassan shares the turning point that started his journey to save others from cults—and how empathy, not force, saved his life.
