The Mind Is Burning: Epilogue

Producer Jonathan Hirsch had a childhood much like yours -- except his family had a secret. They were followers of a controversial spiritual leader named Franklin Jones.

Now, Jonathan is going back, trying to find out what happened -- and whether the group really did become a cult.
