This four-part documentary series chronicles the rise of Samuel Bateman, the self-proclaimed heir to Warren Jeffs’ Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (FLDS), through the eyes of one couple who infiltrated his inner circle. Cult expert Christine Marie and her videographer husband Tolga Katas move into Short Creek, Utah to support a fractured FLDS community vulnerable to a new “prophet” — and decide to take matters into their own hands when they uncover evidence of unignorable evil. Featuring unprecedented access, never-before-seen footage, and first-hand accounts from inside the group, the series reveals the depths of Bateman’s control and the women brave enough to speak up. Directed by Emmy- and Peabody Award–winning filmmaker Rachel Dretzin (Keep Sweet: Pray and Obey), Trust Me: The False Prophet is a riveting saga of devotion, deception, and the cycle of abuse in one of America’s most secretive communities.
