Netflix’s ‘The Family’ Reveals How the Fellowship Pulls the Strings in D.C.
Preview
Pop quiz: Who holds the most power in Washington, D.C.? If you said the president or the speaker of the House, you’d be wrong.
According to the new five-part docuseries, The Family, the ones pulling the strings are the Fellowship, a covert religious and political group that’s been around for nearly 80 years.
Through investigative reporting, interviews and scripted reenactments, director Jess Moss reveals how this organization — known for sponsoring the annual National Prayer Breakfast — has wielded its influence quietly behind the scenes for decades.
Journalist Jeff Sharlet, who has written two books about the Fellowship, calls them “an invisible organization hiding in plain sight.”
