Evil Influencer : The Jodi Hildebrandt Story (2025)


Netflix doc on Jodi Hildebrandt, a therapist in the Church of Later Day Saints, who was arrested for child abuse when it was discovered how she was treating the children of one of her patients /business partner.

This is a good, if a bit over long look at who one woman wrecked the lives of multiple families. Hildebrandt was a very devout member of the church and her approach to therapy appealed to a number of people in the church looking for help with their lives. The trouble was that Hildebrandt had issues of her own and a controlling personality that ended up destroying marriages.

I liked this film a great deal, however running at over 100 minutes it a bit long.  Its not that there is anything bad here, more that the stories of wrecked marriages get reputative.

Worth a look.
