The Sacrament
Hi. I'm Sam Turner and we're here at VICE
Headquarters in Williamsburg, Brooklyn
with one of our favorite
fashion photographers,
Patrick Carter. Just a few nights
ago, we were all hanging out together
when he let slip a comment about his
sister that had us practically speechless
for the better part of an hour.
After hearing the full story,
we immediately thought,
we have got to do a piece on it.
Should I read it?
Read it.
Okay, it says, "Dear Patrick, sorry you
have not heard from me in so long.
I have been working hard with
everyone to build a community
where we can finally live
free as God intended.
We're not there yet,
but we're so close.
It's the most beautiful place I have ever
been and I would love if you came to visit.
We have so much love here
but I miss your face."
Then it says "Love, Caroline,"
and there's a phone number.
We've been to some
of the most chaotic,
f***ed up, war-torn
places in the world,
but never somewhere for something
as personal and bizarre as this.
So here we are, about
to leave New York City,
to set out to find your sister
in a remote part of the world,
to see what this community she is
living in is really all about.
Maybe we can call this one the "VICE
guide to the Carter family reunion".
One night to be confused
We had a promise made
Four hands and then away
Both under influence
We had divine scent
To know what to say
Mind is a razor blade
To call for hands of above
To lean on
Wouldn't be good enough for me, no
To call for hands of above
To lean on
Wouldn't be good enough for me, no
I'll be back tomorrow at 8:00 a.m.
I'll wait for one hour and then I
will leave. With or without you.
- Don't worry, we'll be here.
- I'm not worried. 8:00 a.m.
- Who is Patrick?
- Yeah. That's me.
We were not told you'd
be bringing others.
There are three total.
Is there a problem?
We're all together.
We have to get clearance to bring them to
the Parish. Please, stop filming me, sir.
They came with me.
I can't just leave them here.
My sister invited us. My sister's
name is Caroline Carter.
Hold on.
- I don't understand if there's problem.
- Hold on.
It should be all arranged.
Okay. Bring them in.
Copy that. It's okay.
- Come with me.
- Let's go.
It's okay.
- Get in the back.
- The truck?
Get in the back.
So far so good.
Well, here we are,
we made it, kind of.
We don't have a local fixer on this one,
and the first thing that happens is
Patrick almost getting into an
argument with one of our guides.
You know those are the
guys you want on your side
when you are out in
places like this.
Maybe New York has made me soft,
but these are the moments,
every time we make one of
these things, where I realize
- it might have been the worst idea ever.
- No, we've definitely had worse ideas.
No, we've definitely
had worse ideas.
I don't know why you're laughing.
Get a shot of his shoes.
Where did you think you were
going, wearing shoes like those?
I thought you traveled
for work all the time?
Yeah, to LA, and f***ing Paris.
Closest I come to this sh*t is shooting
some model in a field in Jersey.
Dude, you're in fashion,
you should own some boots.
Turn the camera off!
Turn it off! Turn it off!
So things have not improved.
We didn't get shot, but
we have to be careful
not to let them catch us filming.
Patrick is over there explaining
who we are, what we're doing.
I'm not sure if that will
We're hoping that he can find his
sister and straighten all this out.
And if Patrick starts to get shot
at, I'm going the f*** that way.
As quickly as possible.
They want our passports, but I'm not
giving up my passport to anybody.
Also, there is some
talk of a donation.
Not sure how sizeable
that donation has to be.
So far this is nothing at all like the
hippie commune we were expecting.
- Patrick?
- Okay. See, there she is.
Hey, it's okay guys. It's okay.
Caroline, did you tell them?
All right, come on guys.
- Oh, I'm so glad you're here.
- I'm so glad to see you.
- What's with all this?
- Oh, I'll explain it inside.
- Hi.
- Hi.
- I'm Caroline. Nice to meet you. You too.
- I'm Sam, this is Jake.
Hi. We didn't know you
were coming. I'm so sorry.
It's just... We're really
happy to have you.
a cabin right now for you both.
Great.
- Is it all right if I keep filming?
- Yeah. Yeah, of course, of course.
You can film whatever you like.
I would just hope that you would
leave this last experience out.
It in no way reflects what
you are about to see.
The guns are just a precautionary
measure because of where we are.
Down here everything needs
some level of security.
- Sure, we understand.
- You want to go inside?
- Yeah. Yeah.
- Yeah? Okay, cool. Thanks, guys.
My God, I can't believe I'm
looking at you right now.
- Your hair is so short.
- Yeah, I cut it.
- You look good. You look healthy.
- Thank you.
Oh, just wait until you see it all. Here
we are.Welcome to Eden Parish.
Oh, just wait until you see it all.
Here we are. Welcome
to Eden Parish.
What do you think?
It's great, right?
Children, we have some special
visitors to the parish today.
Let's show them our hospitality
and represent ourselves in the
ways the Lord has taught us.
- God bless you all.
- Oh, yeah.
I don't think that we slept more
for six months when
we were building it.
But Father had a vision, and
he was of course right.
And we built Heaven here on Earth.
- Who is Father?
- Oh, right. Yeah.
Probably sounds weird
to you guys, huh?
Well, he's the guy that
started all of this.
He's the reason that I'm still alive.
He's the reason that all of us are here.
He's a genius, I swear.
I know it sounds strange, but we all call
him that because it's just easier for us.
- Is that him on the loud speaker?
- Uh-huh.
Can we speak with
him at some point?
Um.
Let me see what I can do. I know you guys
are Patrick's friends and everything,
but we've got to be really
None of this would be possible
without some level of secrecy.
Secrecy, from whom? People like us?
Or you mean like the
local government?
A little of both.
There are some people out there
that want to stop what we're doing.
They think it's wrong, but
I personally have no idea
that this was wrong.
I've never been so happy
in my entire life,
and we grew up wealthy
on the upper west side.
But that's not living, at least
not to me. This is living.
We all built this
together as a community.
We would do anything
to keep it safe.
So some of our residents
agreed to move out of here
so that you guys could
stay here with us tonight,
with me in the main house.
And I know it doesn't
seem like much,
but you guys should be pretty
comfortable for the night.
When we first got here, some
