Love Has Won: The Cult of Mother God

Episode one chronicles Amy’s journey from a manager at a McDonald’s to her position as “Mother God” in the Love Has Won movement. We see Amy search for a Father God, as Love Has Won devotees arrive at the commune, live-streaming daily and selling products, like colloidal silver, to fund their healing work. The cult is thriving until a newcomer arrives.

Amy’s relatives detail her past as a mother of three and her history of alcohol and drug abuse. After Amy begins a relationship with Jason Costilo, who takes on the mantle of the final Father God, Amy becomes sick from ingesting doses of colloidal silver – which the group believes has healing properties. Amy’s sister intervenes, but Love Has Won members take Amy to Hawaii.

Amy’s daughter Madi describes her life growing up without a mother. After Amy claims to be the goddess Pele, the Love Has Won commune is kicked out of Hawaii. As Amy’s health deteriorates, her followers continue to raise money for the group and flee to Colorado.
