This haunting documentary revisits the tragic Andrea Yates case, examining the psychological, social, and ideological forces that preceded one of the most devastating family crimes in American history. Through interviews, archival material, and expert analysis, the film explores how the extreme fire-and-brimstone teachings of a rogue street preacher allegedly exerted control over a deeply vulnerable Texas mother. The documentary traces the slow descent toward the 2001 tragedy in which Yates drowned her five children, raising difficult questions about influence, faith, mental health, and accountability.
