The Truth Behind the Family Cult - Anne Hamilton Byrne

Anne Hamilton-Byrne, originally a yoga teacher, founded the cult known as the Family in the late 1960s; it operated for more than 20 years until police raided its property in the state of Victoria in 1987. She and her husband Bill Byrne took children through adoptions, allowing the cult to assemble and imprison them in a strict home-schooling environment at a rural property near Eildon in Victoria. The Family cult was made famous by images of children with bleached blonde bowl cuts and matching outfits. Anne Hamilton-Byrne thought she was a reincarnation of Jesus Christ and blended drug-taking with mysticism and Christianity.
