A new documentary series from HBO will pull back the curtain on La Luz del Mundo, a secretive and nontraditional Christian denomination, and the sexual abuse that several members, many of them minors, say they have suffered at the hands of its successive leaders.
Titled “Unveiled: Surviving La Luz Del Mundo,” the HBO Original production will unfold in three parts. It was directed by award-winning filmmaker Jennifer Tiexiera, the director of “P.S. Burn This Letter Please,” and produced by Alex Gibney’s Jigsaw Productions in association with Law & Crime Productions.
In an interview with Variety, Tiexiera said she hoped to draw attention to a story that was not given much coverage by the media despite the global reach of the church. La Luz del Mundo (Lldm) claims to have congregations in over 50 countries and over five million followers, but it is an institution that is also cloaked in secrecy.

Large station owner Tenga Inc. struck a multi-year pact with Law & Crime Productions and Cineflix Rights to create original true-crime documentary series that utilize content from Tegna’s stations. The companies will launch their agreement with the production of 50 hour-long episodes, starting with a new series called “Cult Justice.”
The ten-episode series purports to examine the allure and power of cults. Every episode will tell the story of how law enforcement sought justice against different cult leaders through narratives from the survivors and police, accompanied by rare photos and videos. Some episodes focus on stories ripped from headlines, such as the Nxivm sex cult and The Family, a present-day iteration of the well-known Children of God cult.
“Cult Justice” will be led by executive producers Brian Ross and Rhonda Schwartz, two former ABC News investigative journalists who will also lead all 50 true crime episodes. Dan Abrams, founder of Law & Crime...

First day of a very slow holiday week, the other shoe dropped on ABC News’ embarrassing Brian Ross situation. Ross announced today he and fellow investigative reporter Rhonda Schwartz are leaving the news operation after a quarter of a century.
The news presumably surprised no one. Back in December, ABC News suspended Ross for a month without pay, and demoted him, over his botched report on former national security adviser Michael Flynn. Ross, who had been Chief Investigative Correspondent for the network, reported that Flynn would testify that President Donald Trump ordered him to contact the Russians about foreign policy before Trump was elected.
In a statement issued today, Ross and Schwartz said, “After a great run of 24 years, we have decided to pack up and move on from ABC News, an organization that has meant so much to us.”
“We leave with enormous gratitude for all those who supported...

Brian Ross announced that he would be leaving ABC News after a 24-year career at the network and just months after he botched a major report about Gen. Michael Flynn and the Russia investigation.
In a tweet, Ross also revealed that Rhonda Schwartz, who served as chief producer for his old investigative unit, was also leaving the network.
“It’s time to say good-bye after 24 years at ABC News, an organization that has meant so much to us,” he said in the tweet. “While Rhonda Schwartz and I are signing off from ABC News, we are hardly leaving investigative journalism. There is much more to do.”

Brian Ross, the veteran ABC News investigative correspondent who embarrassed the network late last year with an on-air report suggesting former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn had been told by President Donald Trump to make contact with Russian officials during the 2016 campaign for the Oval Office, is leaving the network, along with Rhonda Schwartz, who served as the chief investigative producer for Ross’ team.
“After more than two decades at ABC News, Brian Ross and Rhonda Schwartz have decided to leave the company,” ABC News President James Goldston said in a memo to staffers Monday. “Over the years they have built a team of the best investigative journalists in our industry, and they leave behind an outstanding group that will continue to break stories for many years to come.”
But Ross’ reputation was sorely tested in December after he took to ABC in a special report and told viewers erroneously...
