Exposing Nxivm: Bringing down a destructive cult, part 1
How actor Catherine Oxenberg rescued her daughter India from Nxivm, a self-help group that was actually a dangerous cult and sex-trafficking ring.
In 2016 the former Dynasty actor Catherine Oxenberg received a terrifying text message: 鈥淵our daughter is in grave danger. Learn everything you can about cults.鈥� At the time, her daughter India was a coach for Nxivm (pronounced Nexium), a self-help organisation. But in reality, Nxivm was a dangerous cult and front for a sex-trafficking ring. When Catherine discovered that India was trapped and being exploited by the cult leader Keith Raniere, she did everything in her power to rescue her daughter.
A version of this interview was first broadcast in June 2021.
