This whole documentary is such a crock of shit. She's talking about the effects of krokodil with a drugs worker from Russia who is clearly minsinformed himself, and is taking the word of an Orthodox minister who is declaring that all unorthodox Christian sects are cults. That Teen Challenge place is not a cult, cults are insular communities that do not actively recruit new members or invite film crews to visit them. Every opportunity for incisive commentary or decent journalism is given up in favour of sensationalism. This woman knows fuck all about drugs, or religion, and is in no way qualified to be talking about these issue. In my opinion.

^ I generally agree, except for the definition of cults.
They do actively recruit new members, don't they?
And they do occasionally invite film crews as well, such as this documentary with Louis Theroux on fundamentalist Christians:

Still, I agree with your complaints about the documentary and the ignorance of the "journalist" and her sources.
