A month after moving to Australia, I joined a cult | SBS Insight #cults #shorts

Only a month after moving to Melbourne from Zimbabwe, Othniel was recruited into a bible study class. Suddenly he went from attending university five times a week to studying scripture 10 hours a day, which led him to drop out of his course.

Insight, hosted by Kumi Taguchi, is Australia's leading forum for powerful first-person stories offering a unique perspective on the way we live.

Insight first went to air in 1995 and has since been a mainstay of SBS current affairs programming. The team doesn't shy away from taboo topics: from polygamy, to brain implants, to the secrets revealed on the deathbed.
