The three-part docuseries 'Devotion: Obedience Or Betrayal' directed by Nicole Rittenmeyer, investigates Gloriavale, a controversial religious community in New Zealand. The series features interviews with both current members and former members, including Phil Cooper, who famously abducted his family from the sect. Gloriavale is depicted as a Christian community with strict gender roles and a dress code reminiscent of 'The Handmaid’s Tale.' While current members express their commitment to the community, the series does not shy away from addressing serious allegations against its leaders, including sexual assault. Rittenmeyer attempts to present a balanced view, showcasing the devotion of many members while acknowledging the darker aspects associated with the community's leadership. The series raises questions about the impact of scandals on the community's way of life, which, despite its controversies, has provided a sense of faith and peace to its followers. Viewers are encouraged to stream the docuseries for its nuanced portrayal of a complex subject.
