How I Escaped Life In An International Cult | Extraordinary Lives Podcast |

Natacha Tormey tells us about her life growing up inside 'The Children of God' cult (now known under the name ‘The Family International’).

She explains how she was sexually abused, made to live in a compound with strict rules, and taught to fear the outside world.
