The Way Down

Pay not attention to the WOMAN behind the curtain
— Mike Kealey

To say this is a cult is an understatement. Never in my wildest dreams would I have thought that this church existed in Brentwood Tennessee!

The Remnant Fellowship Church and its leader Gwen Shamblin Lara takes you on a wild ride exploring Lara's fame and power as a diet guru and church leader. This documentary will show you how she carefully curated her image while detailing the controversial practices of the church.

Get ready for some shocking experiences that will have you saying WTF did I just hear!

This documentary exposes the hypocrisies of the cult and how she became consumed with greed for power, fame and material possessions.

They weren’t living a life for their god, instead they were using god to improving their lifestyle.

Be prepared to hear about physical abuse of children, forced pregnancies, forced divorces, oh and yes forced weight loss and all of it under the name of God.

It’s only 5 short episodes and definitely worth watching…….you won’t be able to put it down - trust me!

Be sure and watch the trailer below!
