History's Mysteries: Cults (Full Frame)

Cults

Whether inspired by the visions of leaders who believe they have a pipeline to God, or invented as schemes by charlatans and frauds, "Cults" have long occupied a unique place in society. In this thought-provoking documentary, explore the beliefs and practices of some of the most famed cults in history. Learn how throughout the ages, spiritual organizations have served as havens for people searching for meaning in their lives, and how nearly every religion, no matter how mainstream, was once regarded as a cult sometime in its past. Discover why modern-day cults have become so readily associated with brainwashing and death pacts, and venture back thousands of years to examine what cults were like in the ancient world. From early Christian "cults" to the tragedy of Heaven's Gate, History's Mysteries presents an illuminating look at this controversial topic.
