In 1985, Aum Shinrikyo’s recruiting efforts are paying off. This is a radio drama of one early member’s experience. Our exploration of why people join, and why they stay.

Our film Me and the Cult Leader is available NOW in the UK until July 10 at the Sheffield Doc Fest! The reviews from Screen International, The Daily Beast and Eye for Film has been phenomenal, we are absolutely overjoyed!
