Peck and Lessner serve as executive producers alongside Daniel Voll, Alexandra Milchan and India Oxenberg. “I had been targeted for recruitment by NXIVM, so the subject was of personal interest,” Peck said. “In many ways, India could be anyone’s daughter.

All of their voices were instrumental in telling a very complex story, which we hope shines a light on systematic manipulation and coercion.”
