The Garden: Commune or Cult
TV Show • 2023 • Documentary
ReportSynopsis
On 22 acres of backcountry land in the American South lies The Garden - a community that lives by its own laws, free from the pressures of modern society. They maintain an open-door policy to anyone seeking to join their ranks, but new people must submit to an initiation period. Some barely last a week, others are forced to leave, and a chosen few will call The Garden home for good. Questions continue to arise about the cult-like vibes of the controversial community, but this spring is different. Cameras have been granted unprecedented access to The Garden, documenting its spread to new locations deep in the Ozarks. Founded as a cooperative, "leaderless" community, The Garden could be viewed as a post-apocalyptic wonderland free of societal rules.

Pretty soon after the chipmunk scene a dead rooster is graphically being shown pulled apart. Very gory, bloody. I honestly just stopped watching since I already knew this group has issues with butchering animals unnecessarily so to see it confirmed explicitly twice in a row in under 5 minutes is just upsetting. Again, it is a real rooster. They do intend to eat it but still.

The opening scene shows a man shooting a chipmunk. He dissects it while talking to the camera people. It is a real chipmunk and it is very graphic. He eats its heart. It is shown up close and explicit and he is sort of laughing.
