CNN Presents: Tortured Justice with Omar Jimenez

Persuadable: Scrolling Alone

Listen Later

If loneliness and social isolation are part of what pushes people down the rabbit hole, what’s the cure? CNN’s Donie O’Sullivan sits down with a cult survivor who explains why conspiracy theories can have such a powerful hold on believers, and he learns from a pair of documentary filmmakers who have a prescription for a fractured, lonely society. 


Diane Benscoter is the founder of the nonprofit Antidote, and she's the author of Shoes of a Servant: My Unconditional Devotion To A Lie. You can listen to more of Donie's conversation with Diane on YouTube.


Pete Davis and Rebecca Davis are the directors and producers of the documentary Join or Die. You can learn more about their film here.
