## Resource

Roch Thériault, known as the “Modern Moses,” led the Ant Hill Kids, a Canadian doomsday cult built on fear, isolation, and total obedience. What began as a religious survivalist commune slowly transformed into a nightmare of manipulation, violence, and blind devotion. As Thériault’s power grew, his followers found themselves trapped under the control of a man who believed he answered only to God.
