The surprising story of Aum Shinrikyo (immediately referred to as Aleph), the doomsday cult that unleashed a lethal nerve fuel in Tokyo’s subway system in March of 1995. Based by disillusioned yoga trainer Shoko Asahara, Aum remodeled right into a terrorist group whereas Japan’s police and media turned a blind eye.

This movie is an exploration of Aum Shinrikyo, and its chief Shoko Asahara, who have been chargeable for assault, entails the participation of those that lived by means of the horror within the 90s because it unfolded. I am glad I watched this at Sundance a number of years in the past, it is fascinating and severely disquieting understanding how they received away with all of this. One other movie exhibiting how evil “non secular” cults at all times are.
