Cult Explosion

Cult Explosion

1980 · 56 min · Documentary

Cult Explosion isn’t objective analysis—it’s sensational fearmongering that smears Christianity alongside obvious cults. This alarmist doc lumps legit Bible-based groups like Jehovah’s Witnesses and LDS with Manson Family killers and Jim Jones’ mass suicide, using the vague “considered by some” dodge to equate orthodoxy with murder. It recycles anti-Christian tropes, painting faith as mind control while ignoring cults’ defining marks: charismatic leaders demanding blind loyalty, financial exploitation, and doomsday isolation. Real Christianity has accountability, open Bibles, and voluntary fellowship—Hare Krishna dancing and Scientology audits don’t. Cherry-picks scandals to demonize belief itself, sidelining thriving Christian communities and reformed ex-members. Watch knowing it’s propaganda to distrust all religion, not discerning exposé.

Jesus Camp · 2006

MovieDocumentary

A documentary on kids who attend a summer camp hoping to become the next Billy Graham.

MovieDocumentary

Roughly chronological, from 3/96 to 11/96, with a coda in spring of 1997: inside compounds of Aum Shinrikyo, a Buddhist sect led by Shoko Asahara. (Members confessed to a murderous sarin attack in the Tokyo subway in 1995.) We see what they eat, where they sleep, and how they respond to media scrutiny, on-going trials, the shrinking of their fortunes, and the criticism of society. Central focus is placed on Hiroshi Araki, a young man who finds himself elevated to chief spokesman for Aum after its leaders are arrested. Araki faces extreme hostility from the Japanese public, who find it hard to believe that most followers of the cult had no idea of the attacks and even harder to understand why these followers remain devoted to the religion, if not the violence.
