The Way Down: God, Greed, and the Cult of Gwen Shamblin

A deadly plane crash draws public attention to the Remnant Fellowship, a Christian-diet-program-turned-church, and its leader, Gwen Shamblin Lara.

Gwen's divorce and prompt remarriage to actor/musician Joe Lara raise questions about the odd couple’s checkered past -- and the church’s finances.

When two Remnant members are charged with murder, Gwen rallies her congregation to defend against claims of abuse.

After an accident claims the lives of Gwen, Joe and some of their inner circle, former Remnant members grapple with the leader’s complicated legacy.

As the Remnant Fellowship fights to control the narrative, footage of a never-aired reality series pilot surfaces, casting a new light on Gwen.
