Allison after NXIVM

CBC

9 episodes · in order · Explicit

You may think you know everything about NXIVM—the self-help empire turned sex cult led by Keith Raniere. But the most famous woman at the center of the story has remained largely silent. Allison after NXIVM tells the story of Allison Mack: former Smallville actress, high-ranking NXIVM member, and convicted felon. With exclusive access to Mack after her release from three years in prison, this series follows her journey from Hollywood stardom to cult complicity—and her attempt to rebuild a life in the aftermath. Through intimate interviews and conversations with those who knew her then and now, Allison after NXIVM explores the tangled questions of complicity, coercion, and the possibility of redemption. Is she a victim, a villain—or both?
