A new bonus episode is out and this time we’re talking about a film in development called Beyond the Fence.
We’ve brought back our old friend and former Season 3 co-host Ashlen, who’s been hard at work helping people recover from controlling groups through her LLC People Leave Cults, and has become a source of education on the topic in the media.

In addition to appearing on the latest Hulu docuseries “How I Escaped My Cult,” Ashlen is now an executive producer on the Beyond the Fence movie, which can be purchased now as a book.
Our other guest is the writer, director and producer of this film, Lindsey Paulette, who will tell us more about the project and the story.

Beyond the Fence is about about four sisters growing up in and escaping an extreme, controlling group in Appalachia. It explores themes such as family relationships, cult dynamics and patriarchal abuse. Ashlen said she’d like to eventually use the film as a medium for psychoeducation.
