Explore the horrors inside the Ant Hill Kids, a doomsday cult led by self-proclaimed prophet Roch Thériault. Discover how promises of salvation lay torture, forced “surgeries,” and psychological control.
Ep 1:
The Gentle Mountain Man Myth
Introducing Canada's most infamous cult leader, Roch Thériault—and the disturbing true story of manipulation, isolation, and horror hiding behind a peaceful wilderness facade.
Ep 2:
Ulcers, Visions, and Reinvention
A failed marriage, a botched surgery, and a false healing set an ordinary man on the path toward messianic delusion—and expulsion from his own church.
Ep 3:
Ants Beneath His Boot
Followers flee into the Gaspé wilderness with a self-proclaimed prophet named Moses, building a doomsday commune where identity, sleep, and freedom slowly disappear.
Ep 4:
Wives, Wounds, and the Forgotten Children
As Thériault declares himself husband to every woman in the commune, violence erupts—and the group's most vulnerable members, its children, become his first true victims.
Ep 5:
Blood on the Snow
A toddler's death exposes the cult's brutality to police for the first time, but a shockingly light sentence sends Thériault back to a waiting flock and a growing empire of fear.
Ep 6:
The Surgeon Who Played God
Freed from any restraint, Thériault's rituals of torture escalate into unthinkable surgeries and murder, as one woman's desperate escape finally threatens to end his reign.
Ep 7:
The Shiv That Ended Moses
Arrest doesn't mean accountability, as manipulation follows Thériault into the courtroom and prison itself—until one final act of violence closes the story for good.
