Dancing for the Devil: The 7M TikTok Cult shares the story of a group of prominent TikTok creators

Dancing for the Devil: The 7M TikTok Cult focuses around a group of creators, caught up with a company called 7M. 7M has previously been accused of being a cult, led by founder Robert Shinn who is also the pastor of the Shekinah Church. He has been accused of coercively controlling dancers and isolating them from their friends and family.

The doc focuses heavily on the Wilking sisters, Miranda and Melanie, who were passionate about dance since childhood. Miranda and Melanie found success as a duo on social media, raking in millions of TikTok followers and huge brand partnerships.

In 2019, however, Miranda started spending more time with members of her church-affiliated talent management company that represented her. Eventually, she cut off contact with her family completely, leading her loved ones to believe there was more happening behind the scenes.
