The Cult

Ex BBC Inside Story: This program takes us inside the Heaven's Gate cult 39 members of which committed suicide earlier this year in the belief that they would pick up a space ship travelling in the wake of the Hale-Bopp comet and ride into "the level above human". The beliefs of the cult, their increasingly bizarre practices and their devotion to their charismatic leader are investigated. Farewell tapes of cult members are shown and there are interviews with their families and former cult members.
