In 1972, Perry Bulwer, a naive 16-year-old, dropped out of high school to run away with the Children of God, one of a number of Christian cults that sprang up in the 1960s and 1970s. Soon, Perry was preaching the cult's doomsday message on the streets. Perry Bulwer escaped The Family in 1991, managing to escape the cult's tight control while living in Asia. Haunted by his own past, Bulwer became an advocate for thousands of second-generation survivors of the cult's child abuse and psychological trauma scattered around the world.
