Heavens Gate has been a subject i've always been extremely interested in. I've even written school papers on them.
That being said, there are major misconceptions about this "cult", and this documentary series is one of the best things to watch to get information about Heavens Gate that doesn't come off too one-sided or misconstrued.
So little is known about this cult, its origin, its teachings, it's difficult and confusing innards, and it's oddballed participants and leaders, but this documentary series does a really good job explaining all of its extremely interesting inner workings, how the cult changes over time, and how it ultimately ended.
Heavens Gate is a really sad, mysterious, odd and even charming story as a whole, and this series really bundles it up nicely.
Definitely recommend this to anybody who's interested in cults, religion, or even aliens / ufos.
