Human with Jess Mills

Bexy Cameron is a writer, director, and activist. Her first best selling book, a memoir 'Cult Following' which was published last year to widespread awe and acclaim, is currently being transformed into a dramatized series with Dakota Jonson and Riley Ke-oh starring as the leads. It's not surprising that the world from Hollywood to London was set alight but this book, because it is a pure, tender, gripping ferociously brave story which provides a rare and intimate window into what it was like, to grow up inside of the Children of God, one of the most infamous religious sex cults of this century. 

Bexy has spent a lot of her adult life “retelling” the story of her childhood , but this conversation is not about Bexy gratuitously retelling her story, instead this is a  moment to look more deeply at what happened on the inside of her that enabled the internal journey from a childhood of mental, physical, emotional and spiritual incarcerations to lead to a life of truly self realized emancipation.  Amongst many extraordinary things, It is an intimate look at what her story reveals about “our basic human need for connection and purpose, about surviving our childhoods, about the gifts that trauma can bring, and maybe at some point, about forgiveness”.  

So if the world is feeling like a dark or difficult place, join us and let your heart be ignited by the fire of the human spirit.
