The Secrets of Hillsong is a four-episode investigative documentary on one of the most successful megachurches, Hillsong Church. Featuring the first-ever interviews with former pastors Carl and Laura Lentz, The Secrets of Hillsong is based on the original reporting on the megachurch’s scandals by Vanity Fair journalists Alex French and Dan Adler. The church, which for years counted musicians, actors, athletes, and other celebrities among its flock, has faced a global reckoning after a massive wave of revelations about inappropriate behavior among its leadership, including coverups of misbehavior. The documentary also includes intimate conversations with congregants dealing with these revelations and as well as fresh reporting and analysis from journalists, historians, and policymakers.
