Investigation Discovery Investigates the Secrets of the Twelve Tribes Cult in New Special | Watch Trailer
Published By admin
*Investigation Discovery is set to reveal the hidden realities of the Twelve Tribes organization with a special presentation of its long-running series, “PEOPLE MAGAZINE INVESTIGATES.”
The new two-hour special, “PEOPLE MAGAZINE INVESTIGATES: THE SECRETS OF THE TWELVE TRIBES CULT,” produced in partnership with PEOPLE’s award-winning true-crime team, explores the controversial group through candid interviews with former insiders who left the organization, per the news release.
Founded in the early 1970s by Gene Spriggs, the Twelve Tribes group attracted individuals seeking a simpler, peaceful life guided by Old Testament principles. While promising a life of tranquility and community, some members reportedly had to give up their personal possessions, including life savings, and endured mandatory, physically demanding labor. Former insiders also alleged that children faced severe corporal punishment and that access to modern medical care was restricted.
The special goes beyond the allegations to examine how strict religious practices and what insiders describe as the weaponization of “the fear of God” can influence daily life within the group. Those who escaped the organization recount the challenges of leaving while remaining estranged from family and loved ones still involved.
Viewers can expect a combination of in-depth interviews, archival footage, and investigative reporting from PEOPLE to illuminate the organization’s inner workings and its often-hidden impact on members. The two-hour special promises to reveal a stark contrast between the group’s public image of peace and simplicity and the experiences described by those who left.
