"This documentary provides an important platform for the incredibly courageous women who came forward to share their stories, and we hope their courage inspires others to continue meaningful conversations around abuse in our society."
In 2021, allegations against Hammer surfaced as victims came forward with unsettling allegations of bondage, cannibalism fantasies, rape accusations, and more.

Through a trove of archive and interviews from survivors and family members, the dark and twisted secrets of the Hammer family come to light.
