This documentary follows one of the most prolific American New Religious Movements of the 20th Century, Heaven’s Gate, and its intimate history in both digital and physical media. The group is much more than the insane UFO cult peddled by the media. They were forerunners, adapters, pioneers of the digital age - one of the first to use media to package and present their ideology to a global online audience. A story which we aim to shed light on in this narrative short film.
