What is Dancing for the Devil: The 7M TikTok Cult about?

IMDb's synopsis reads: “TikTok dancers join a management firm tied to a church, uncovering disturbing truths about the founders' sinister agenda.”

 

The documentary stems from the story of Miranda Wilking, whose quest to become a dancer led her to a management company that also turned out to be a church. After she cut off contact with her family, her sister and parents looked into what was happening behind the scenes and now believe that the organization she became involved with, 7M, was and remains a cult.

The doc delves into the story of 7M boss Robert Shinn, who is pastor at the Shekinah Church, and investigates the complaints both former employees and church members have made about his controlling behavior.

 

We also get to know Miranda's sister Melanie and her parents, Kelly and Dean, as they recount publicly calling 7M a cult in 2022 as well as their suspicions that Miranda was being exploited and manipulated. It's an emotional watch, to see what Miranda's disappearance has done to her family. The reality of what cults can do in terms of isolating its members is also haunting.

In the trailer for the documentary, the family describe being “blocked on absolutely everything” and now “aren't allowed to contact” her.

The series also includes stories from other once members of 7M, including dancers who joined hoping its talent-management element would make them a success. Others are working to take the group and Shinn down “from the outside.”
