NEW YORK, NY – March 1, 2019 - Oxygen Media, the destination for high-quality crime programming, debuts a compelling two-hour special, “Uncovered: The Cult of Yahweh Ben Yahweh” on Sunday, March 10 at 7pm ET/PT. Hulon Mitchell Jr., aka Yahweh Ben Yahweh, devoted his life as the spiritual leader of the Nation of Yahweh, which he founded in 1979. During a time of racial divide, violence and corruption, his mission was to rehabilitate drug riddled neighborhoods in Miami. However, within just a few years, his controversial leadership led his members to a darker side, which some say turned the organization into a terrifying cult.

“Uncovered: The Cult of Yahweh Ben Yahweh” explores how Yahweh Ben Yahweh manipulated thousands, led with intimidation and gained political influence for more than a decade. Then in 1990, Yahweh Ben Yahweh was arrested and accused of orchestrating multiple murders, ordering his inner circle, more formally known as the “death of angels,” to facilitate these violent actions on his behalf. Was he actually the mastermind behind these crimes or did some of his members take his teachings to an unimaginable level? Through first-hand accounts from former and current followers of the group, law enforcement, legal experts and family members, Ben Yahweh’s story is told in chilling detail from his rise to power all the way through his shocking trial.

“Uncovered: The Cult of Yahweh Ben Yahweh” is produced by Renegade 83, LLC, an Entertainment One (eOne) company with David Garfinkle, Jay Renfroe, Bob Kusbit and Vincent DiPersio serving as Executive Producers.
