Stolen Youth: Inside the Cult at Sarah Lawrence

"Really interesting story! Recommend to #bingewatch as I did! Good to learn about people’s experiences with manipulative people and learn from it. Very sad but also a heartwarming ending for most of the people affected. One of the victims, Daniel Barban Levin, wrote a book on his experiences in this cult. Definitely will be checking it out! #truestory #true_crime #documentary "

"I couldn’t look away. I was mind blown at the amount of control this creepy man had over these young adults for so long ."

"Bananas. "

"Good lord!! This series is disturbing, infuriating, mind blowing, sad, confusing, heartbreaking, hard to watch but most of all unbelievable. How could this have gone on for so long?"

"I struggle to describe this documentary. Usually, I can understand why people followed the cult leader even if I don't believe I would be susceptible. I just don't get it in this case. The leader was a narcissist. It did show how some people can be conditioned to believe almost anything. I felt really bad for the families that still don't have contact with their adult children."

"I got half way through through episode 2 or maybe less. I really only stopped watching because it didn’t feel believable anymore. Plus it was really not that at all disturbing which is what I wanted in the first place."

"This story was sooooo sad but definitely good to watch. It teaches how fast you can fall into something like that. "

"7/10 It was relatively meh, but I've seen worse docs. If you've seen a lot of cult documentaries this will not disturb you as much as what the people on here are saying. There are 2 videorecordings of verbal and physical abuse that I would suggest skipping if you are relatively sensitive like me, but otherwise it is definitely low on the cult creepy scale. I think it would just have been a lot better with an interview with the actual cult leader. "

"These poor souls.. some of which who are still brainwashed completely! So glad this rotten man will spend the rest of his days locked up! Shame on these people to be soo sick in their head to brainwash kids and use them as puppets. It’s take a special kind of waste of skin! 😤"

"Originally saw the 20/20 episode about this and was struck by how little was actually explained. This doc delved into the details I felt like I was missing. Such a disturbing story. "
