Dancing for the Devil: The TikTok cult

Management company 7M represents some of TikTok’s most viral dancers. But beyond the polished choreography and idyllic Hollywood sets, a new documentary alleges these young stars are being controlled by a cult-like leader. When one family comes forward with their story, they learn that allegations of financial, psychological and sexual abuse go back decades.


Today we’re joined by Derek Doneen, the director of Netflix’s hit documentary Dancing for the Devil: The 7M TikTok Cult.
