LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - HBO is developing a documentary about the [[Children of God]], an apocalyptic [[cult]] accused of extreme sexual practices such as [[:Category:Incest|incest]] and rape.

"No Longer Children," will chronicle the lives of several children who, after careful planning, managed to escape without money, [[:Category:Education|education]] or family support.

The Children of God, a.k.a. [[the Family]], was founded by [[David Berg]] in the late [[1960s|'60s]]. By [[1981]], it boasted more than 2,000 homes in 76 countries. Former child members include actors [[Joaquin Phoenix]], his late brother [[River Phoenix|River]] and [[Rose McGowan]].

The group emphasized the cutting of family ties, [[:Category:Discipline|discipline]] and commitment to cult [[:Category:Beliefs|beliefs]], which included total devotion to cult activities on the part of children of members. The group's activities triggered a 18-month investigation by New York's Attorney General's Office in the [[1970s]], which led to a [[1974]] report alleging that cult members were engaged in kidnapping, imprisonment, virtual enslavement, [[Flirty Fishing|prostitution]], polygamy, rape and [[:Category:Sexual Abuse|sexual abuse]] of children and incest.

The documentary is being produced by Diane Farr (the WB's "Like Family") and [[Noah Thomson]], a former child member who will make his directing debut on the project and appear on camera along with many of his 11 siblings.

Thomson spent his childhood moving all over [[South America]] with his parents, who held leadership positions in the cult, until he was moved to [[Japan]] at age 17. He worked as the editor for the group's video ministry around the world until he fled at age 21 and came to the [[United States]]. Since then, Thomson has obtained custody of his next two siblings from the cult and has been helping [[second generation|second-generation]] members escape.
