Brothers Connors

The Connor Brothers were raised in a secret and highly controversial cult known as The Family. Born of the hippie movement in 1968, The Family was founded by David Berg. was an extreme Christian cult whose members believed in something called “the system”. Other children raised in the cult include actors River and Joaquin Phoenix.

Children, the twins were denied access to information outside their commune. Without access to mainstream media, their knowledge of the world was limited to the teachings and interactions they had acquired from other members of the sect.

At 16, the boys turned their backs on the family and fled from their homes. After years of riding freight trains, they moved to the Brooklyn area of New York.
