Exposing Nxivm: Bringing down a destructive cult, part 1

BBC World Service - Outlook, Exposing Nxivm: Bringing down a destructive cult, part 1

How actor Catherine Oxenberg rescued her daughter India from the dangerous cult, Nxivm

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: “Your daughter is in grave danger. Learn everything you can about cults.” 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.
