[CW: sexual abuse; cults] Actress Sarah Edmondson doesn’t seem like the kind of person who would get swept up in a cult – and not just get swept up into a cult, but become one of its biggest recruiters and champions. And yet that is part of Sarah’s story – as is how Sarah escaped the cult, and worked to bring it down.

Sarah Edmondson recounted her story in the first season of CBC Podcasts’ hit series, Uncover: Escaping NXIVM, and on the front page of the New York Times, where she was pictured folding down the front of her jeans to reveal the angry red scar that she received as part of a cult branding ritual. More recently, she wrote a deeply personal memoir about her decade-long ordeal: Scarred: The True Story of How I Escaped NXIVM, The Cult That Bound My Life.

In this poignant and emotionally raw interview, Sarah Edmondson discusses the impact that the NXIVM cult had on her spirit and body as well as on the Vancouver film and television community, and what she wants next as she moves forward in her acting career with NXIVM in her rear-view mirror.
