Trivia
Loosely based on Herff Applewhite (co-founder), and the cult known as "The Two", or the UFO Missionaries. His partner died in 1985, and Herff continued leading the group. Sometime between 1994 and 1996, the group adopted the name "Heaven's Gate". Their theology had changed somewhat by this time since the co-leaders death.

Prophetic expose of the contactee mind-set

This very interesting and disturbing TV film was based not on the Jonestown cult massacre but on the exploits of "The Two". This male and female pair of deluded UFO contactees roamed America in the 70's enlisting converts. I read articles about them then in major magazines such as TIME. They then disappeared and I wondered what had become of them. They resurfaced in the mid-90's as "Bo & Peep" the leaders of the suicidal Heaven's Gate cult. They believed they were in contact with a spaceship that was coming to Earth to collect them and was following in the wake of the Hale Bop comet. I think this TV movie takes an accurate and chilling look into the world of religious delusion, kooks, cults and the "outsider" mentality. I stumbled upon it late one night and it hooked me and has stayed with me. Highly recommended.
