Unreported World investigates how one influential preacher in Kenya could have led hundreds of men, women and children to their deaths. Symeon Brown tracks down the survivors and the families searching for loved ones to find out if this was mass suicide, or mass murder.

So far 429 bodies have been exhumed from graves in Shakahola forest where Pastor Paul Mackenzie’s followers are believed to have starved to death. The leader of the so-called death cult is said to have promised his followers protection from the 'coming apocalypse'. Mackenzie denies any wrongdoing.

Meanwhile another church, Rainbow Ministries, is facing a crackdown for cult-like behaviour. But where is the line between faith and extremism?

    If the priest of the church you’re going starting to say “God tells me to tell you “ then you know it’s time to run. Those are the worst of worse.
  • This has Jim Jones written all over it, my condolences to those who lost their families
  • @megs8572
    Kudos to the news reporter! He was respectful yet straight to the point when interviewing such a dark and eye-opening topic. Pls give him a raise!
  • “Faith is supposed to bring hope to our lives, so what value does it have if it brings fear and death!” Wow!
  • @adushack1982
    This hurts my heart and soul. I weep for the families, the friends, for all.

    I’m a Muslim and I don’t think it’s fair to judge any religion by people who stray from its teachings. Unfortunately dark souls will mix people’s desperation and desire for deeper meaning with fear and manipulation to bring out the worst in people :(

    These Demons running around calling themselves Pastors. McKenzie's Pastor friend refusing to answer because he knows the truth. May God make them answer for their wickedness and those who are hiding for them. What was done to these people, especially the children who could not make decisions for themselves, is Wicked and Evil. Those Pastor's are not from God. They are Children of Satan.
  • This is the worst form of manipulation. I cant imagine that they are so in to it until they refuse to be helped out of the situation.
  • The woman is dehydrated that's why she thinks she communicates with Jesus but in fact she is hallucinating out of thirst.
  • @kwameanim
    Millions are stuck in cults like this all over the world.People are just refusing to think.the smart ones are just taking advantage of the stupid ones.
  • @JP-vh8bt
    Since the Jonestown massacre I never though I’d see something like this again and certainly not in Africa
  • Wow, the pastor & his children look well fed.I spent 3yrs in the Pentecostal church ,evangelical fellowships need to be closely monitored by an independent Christian group as they often are destructive to families & individuals.
  • LOOOOL the Christian church elder saying ‘seeing is believing’ was top irony
  • @ladyu.p4268
    We thank the reporter for bringing this to the world attention,the media don’t tell the world about this😢
  • That lady speaking on behalf of GOD is hilarious lol....Something my mother's slap can fix very well!!!
  • you have done a good investigation than our local media here in Kenya, kudos
  • @u.802
    I am african ( from botswana) and I hope at some point we can all stop joining these cults as a continent.
  • @iceman4660
    Those elders who were denying anything happened are a part of the problem. If only 1 body was down to that man then it must be called out as evil. 'Seeing is believing' was a disingenuous statement. They claim to believe Jesus is God but they have never seen him. If Christians would just read the bible for themselves then they would have known that only God the Father knows when Jesus will return. Any human who claims they know should be avoided.
  • This is just soul destroying so many innocent lives destroyed this reporter deserves the highest of honours and I thank you Sir
