Every true-crime outlet has shown fascination in the sordid story of the licensed Utah therapist Jodi Hildebrandt, who, with YouTube parenting influencer Ruby Franke, was arrested in 2023 on charges of child abuse after Franke’s 12-year-old son escaped Hildebrandt’s house through a window and ran to a neighbor for help. Franke’s 10-year-old daughter was also found restrained and malnourished in the house, prompting an investigation, arrest, and trial that shocked those who had trusted these women. Filmmaker Skye Borgman explores how Hildebrandt weaponized her power and control to such awful ends.
