Successfully getting out of Jehovah's Witnesses despite their emotional abuse shunning practice they now refer to as "removed/removal" They continue this harmful practice and we made a film to expose it and demonstrante a path to process the ongoing shunning that the religions requires of it's members.
Highlights from the Jehovah's Witness panel, Rock the Watchtower, led by investigative journalist Anusha Bradley of Radio New Zealand [RNZ] and three different human rights activists. A compelling discussion about life after living in Jehovah's Witnesses and insight into how you can help solve and prevent these problems with actionable methods and a path to healing from religious abuse.
Thought-provoking moments from Shayne Mechen, an informant, and Lara Kaput, a legislative activist, and Scott Homan, a social impact film director. WITNESS UNDERGROUND demonstrates clearly the extreme shunning still coerced and enforced by Jehovah's Witnesses leaders for life. They discuss rebuilding after being in a cult and recovering from religious hate by Jehovah's Witnesses and cults in general.
Witness Underground rockumentary explores the indie rock record label within a Jehovah's Witness community. We see how art can accelerate the path to recovering from religious trauma. This art scene inside of Jehovah's Witnesses provided a lifeline for artists coping within as well as a bridge to the outside world they were taught to fear. It explores life after the Witnesses, life after Watchtower, freedom from programming, and the transformative power of creativity to save lives.
Explore real advocacy on rebuilding after achieving freedom from a cult. Art can assist in healing emotional trauma, human rights advocacy through government submissions, accessing and providing professional services, and simply serving those in need in your own way, are deeply needed for many kinds of religious exit experiences.
