Documentary: Shiny Happy People: Duggar Family Secrets (2023)

In this episode, Amye and Amanda discuss the Amazon Prime Video Doc, Shiny Happy People: Duggar Family Secrets (2023)

*Trigger warning: This episode can be tough to listen to in spots- please know we will be discussing sexual assault, child abuse, rape, also some religious trauma and political stuff.

In the mid to late 2000’s, TLC introduced the world to Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar, a couple with 19 kids who appeared like an all-American, fun family. No one quite understood at the time the Duggars were a microphone for Bill Gothard and the IBLP, a really problematic fundamentalist movement. In this doc, we come to meet the people behind IBLP as well as hear from survivors of the group. 

Please note: We discuss the entire series. Please make sure you watch it all before listening.
