The Amazon Prime Video documentary miniseries Shiny Happy People examines the Institute in Basic Life Principles (IBLP), a Christian fundamentalist group that became famous in the popular TLC show 19 Kids and Counting and its spinoffs.
This miniseries is anchored to the 19-children-strong Duggar family and its multiple sex abuse scandals. But it also provides a comprehensive account of the rise and fall of the IBLP, the extreme patriarchy it prescribes, and its influence within evangelical Christian circles at the turn of the 21st century.
