In the age of specials buried in an algorithm. Three cults walk into a bar is DOING something different
A darkly cinematic comedy special based on the true story of comedian Uriah Wesman, who grew up in three successive cults–including one doomsday cult, was and survived a near-death experience. All of that was before Wesman went viral on YouTube, and later reclaimed his own identity through stand-up. Forbes Magazine described the performance as a “psychological thrill.”
Dealing with themes an algorithm would bury or censor this special is currently only available on Blu-ray.
owning the story is just as important as telling it
Blending honesty, psychological tension, documentary-style interviews, and dark humour, the special explores trauma, manipulation, fear, belonging, internet obsession, masculinity, and the many strange ways people attempt to rebuild themselves after surviving extreme environments.
It’s part Wild Wild Country, part Nathan For You, part Nanette, and part Baby Reindeer.
