A deep conversation of the power and danger of religion

Discusses the freedom, excess, and manipulation of religion but in a way that breaks down its intentions. Rael is a snake oil salesmen with his stories of visiting alien planets and using free love as a tool for recruitment and lustful pleasures. Yet the people that follow him have greatly improved their lives. This cult could turn into Waco or Jonestown and I hope it won't come to it. It's fascinating to watch this vestigial tail of the 60's New Wave movement branching out in the modern age. It's a cautionary documentary that doesn't tell you not to drink the Koolaid but to carefully observe and judge religious leaders on their true intentions. Great editing and superb locations with nothing held back or censored on the cult members
