UPDATE (September, 2021)

Over 25 years, WE built a golden brand by inspiring children to rally around their charismatic leader. But behind the scenes, employees experienced a cult-like culture and a troubling blur of charitable and commercial activities. In the aftermath of a national scandal, thousands of donors and volunteers (and dozens of 'celebrity ambassadors') are left wondering where the money went, and whether the savior industry creates a constant need for victims. 
From CANADALAND, the news company that exposed it all, this is the exclusive story of a charity that did well when it was supposed to be doing good.

True crime

The first episode from COMMONS newest season on cults. Click here to follow COMMONS, wherever your get your podcasts.
As organized religion declines in countries like Canada, we’ve experienced an explosion of what some call religious movements and what others call cults.
The idea of cults has become an omnipresent part of our discourse. But what even is a cult? And why have we become so intrigued by these groups?
And the language of cults has moved beyond just religion into so many different spheres — everything from fitness, to politics, to work.
