"LET'S GO." With these words, 31-year-old Toru Goto is grabbed, rushed into a waiting van, and spirited away to a high-rise apartment room. He is cut off from his job, his fiancée and his normal life for twelve years and five months.
Shockingly, his captors are his parents and siblings, who have decided to force Mr. Goto to recant his belief in the Divine Principle of the Unification Church. This harrowing, true story involves beatings, verbal abuse, and even starvation-when Mr. Goto was finally set free at age 44, he looked like an emaciated WWII prison-camp survivor. He spends years battling Japan's court system to pursue justice and have the reprehensible deprogramming practices declared illegal.
The battle for religious freedom in Japan is continuing, as even today, Japan's government is using tainted evidence coerced from deprogrammed believers to eliminate the Unification Church in Japan.
