What is the difference between a state run theocratic totalitarian government and a cult? Professor Michael Drane discusses these differences in comparing the dystopia of the Handmaid’s Tale Vs. the oppression of the Fundamentalist Latter Day Saint Cult.
The themes drawn between these two stories are spooky. We examine the psychological similarities & blur the lines. Is truth stranger than fiction? How is it that Warren Jeffs still hold so much power over his followers, even from behind prison bars?
