About This Series
This five-part docuseries examines the controversial Remnant Fellowship Church and its charismatic leader, diet-guru Gwen Shamblin Lara. After rising to fame with her Weigh Down Workshop, a Christian diet program that preached slenderness as godliness, Lara founded the Tennessee-based church, which despite a carefully curated image soon fielded accusations of abuse and exploitation for its alleged cult-like practices. Encompassing years of investigation and extensive interviews with former members and others personally impacted, the docuseries explores the legacy of Remnant’s infamous leader -- whose life came to an abrupt end after a shocking plane crash in May 2021.
