Jared Leto's exclusive fan retreat, known as Mars Island, has returned to the spotlight after a new BBC documentary detailed allegations of sexual misconduct against the Oscar-winning actor and musician.
While Mars Island itself is not accused of being the site of any alleged assaults, renewed scrutiny has prompted many people to ask what the retreat is, why it has been described by some as a 'cult,' and how it has become linked to the wider controversy surrounding Leto. Leto has categorically denied all allegations of sexual misconduct.
