Plot Synopsis

SHINY HAPPY PEOPLE: DUGGAR FAMILY SECRETS is a four-episode documentary that exposes the truth beneath the wholesome Americana surface of reality TV's favorite mega-family, The Duggars, and the radically controversial organization behind them: The Institute in Basic Life Principles (IBLP). A number of ex-IBLP survivors bravely come forward and reveal the abusive practices that kept them in a living nightmare. For the first time, Jill Duggar Dillard will go on the record with her own story and be joined by family and close family friends who witnessed what went on behind the scenes firsthand. While details of the family and their scandals unfold, we realize they're part of an insidious, much-larger threat already in motion, with democracy itself in peril. All four episodes dropped on Friday, June 2, 2023 on Prime Video.
