A dark, intellectually rigorous documentary of a UFO doomsday cult that culminated in mass suicide, engaging directly with questions of belief, meaning, and the human capacity for self-destruction.

What started in 1975 with the disappearance of 20 people from a small town in Oregon, ended in 1997 with the largest suicide on US soil and changed the face of modern New Age religion forever. This four-part docuseries uses never-before-seen footage and first-person accounts to explore the infamous UFO cult that shocked the nation with their out-of-this-world beliefs.
