Summary
For nearly three decades, Anne Hamilton-Byrne built one of Australia's most secretive and disturbing cults. Claiming to be the female reincarnation of Jesus Christ, she convinced doctors, lawyers, nurses, and other respected professionals to help her recruit followers, acquire children through fraudulent adoptions, and create what she believed would become a new master race after the apocalypse. In this episode of You Can't Unhear , we uncover the shocking story of The Family , the children raised in complete isolation, the psychological abuse hidden behind identical blonde hair and matching clothes, the police raid that finally exposed the cult, and why many survivors believe true justice was never served.
