"Escaping Twin Flames" (2023) | Documentary on Netflix: The dangers of loneliness

“Escaping Twin Flames” is a documentary directed by Cecilia Peck.

“Escaping Twin Flames” is a documentary about the practices of a group called “Twin Flames”.

A couple created this group, which seemingly promised what we all desire: to find our spiritual soulmate among the millions of people in this world, that perfect person who would connect with us on a cosmic level.

The most perfect pairing to be found in this universe.

Sounds appealing, right? It certainly caught the interest of those who responded to the online advertisement, but the group held terrible secrets.

“Escaping Twin Flames” is a documentary about two individuals who, exploiting the vulnerabilities and emotional needs of others, made themselves rich with classes costing $200 monthly.

38,000 people worldwide put their trust in this concept, which eventually grew into a multimillion-dollar business with instructors and more, becoming a “cyber-cult”.

About the Documentary

“Escaping Twin Flames” reveals the tactics used by this couple to take advantage of people’s insecurities. This three-part series is exactly what we would expect: those who fell into the trap sharing their stories and explaining why it happened to them.

A documentary for public awareness? Absolutely, and almost exclusively so. We won’t find anything groundbreaking in terms of aesthetics, but the experiences of these individuals can serve as a lesson for others who feel lonely and unhappy, helping them avoid falling into the traps of groups that ultimately aim to enrich themselves.

It is one of those documentaries that allow us to learn from others’ experiences, their mistakes, and to share that fragment of unhappiness we all carry within and the universal need we have to be loved.

May you learn a great deal, be entertained, and remember that in some way, we are not as alone in the universe as we often feel.
