Marianne Boucher was just a regular teenager when she was lured into a cult. She went alone to Los Angeles in 1980 to pursue her figure skating dreams, but when she ran into a kind group of people on the beach, speaking a language of authenticity and compassion, she couldn’t resist. She joined them and their mission to save the world, leaving everything she knew and loved behind. Talking to Strangers is Marianne’s haunting story of brainwashing and eventual escape with the help of her family.
