The Garden: Commune or Cult

An infamous off-grid community that went viral on social media for disturbing allegations is now the subject of a six-part limited series.

On 22 acres of backcountry in the American South lies The Garden, a community that lives by its own laws, free from the pressures of modern society. They maintain an open-door policy to anyone seeking to join their ranks, but new people must submit to an initiation period. Questions continue to arise about the cult-like vibes of the controversial community. Cameras have been granted unprecedented access to The Garden, documenting its spread to new locations deep in the Ozarks.
