A community hidden in the mountains. A founder convicted of sexual abuse. A cover-up that lasted fifty years.
Deep in a remote New Zealand valley, hundreds of men, women, and children live cut off from the outside world, bound by a strict religious code that controls everything from what they wear to who they marry.
They call it faith. Survivors call it something else entirely.
Devotion: Obedience or Betrayal pulls back the curtain on Gloriavale Christian Community, one of the most secretive and controversial religious communes in the world. Founded by Neville Cooper, a man who called himself Hopeful Christian, this self-contained society operated for decades while allegations of sexual abuse, forced labour, and systematic cover-ups were buried beneath the language of God's will.
