Satan Wants You

This is the previously untold story of the genesis of the Satanic Panic in the 1980s ignited by Michelle Remembers, a lurid memoir by psychiatrist Larry Pazder and his patient Michelle Smith. Supported by the Catholic Church, the bestselling book relied on recovered-memory therapy to place the blame for Michelle’s childhood abduction on baby-stealing Satanists. Amplified by US law enforcement and the daytime TV boom, satanic rumors spread through panic-stricken communities worldwide, leaving destruction and wrongful convictions in their wake. This film digs deep into the roots of moral panics and cult conspiracies, showing how these events still affect and distort our reality today.
