Caged

When a clinical psychologist enters his
waiting room in 1999 to summon his new client, he notices
all the chairs are empty. Suddenly, his eyes fall upon a
woman crouched in the corner with her arms wrapped tightly
around herself in a protective posture. Dr. Hirsch has just
met Anne, a woman who would eventually relay an
unforgettable story of incredible abuse and amazing survival
as she gathered the courage to escape the darkness of cult
abuse.

Within the walls of a strict and isolated
religious community that advocated traditional values and
social responsibility, another reality lurked. As Dr. Hirsch
delves deep into Anne's past, she begins to expose a history
of physical, emotional, and sexual abuse by leaders of a
religious cult who kept children in cages, ruled mysterious
deaths accidental, and tragically misused religion to
justify the acts. As Dr. Hirsch questions why such
incomprehensible acts occurred in the first place, a
powerful and trusting relationship ensues between Anne and
her therapist, changing both of them forever.

As
Anne summons the strength to testify against cult leaders, a
captivating story of resilience is revealed, providing
wonderful insight into how psychotherapy helped lead one
woman out of the darkness and into the light.
