Visions of Paradise

Synopsis
A challenging and thought-provoking documentary about the need to belong and find purpose and meaning in life. Through candid interviews and with reference to famous psychological studies along with commentary from cult experts, VISIONS OF PARADISE is a timely warning to all about the continuing attraction of cults and fundamentalist thinking in the 21st century. The film is structured in five parts and can be viewed in one sitting (44 minutes) or watched part-by-part with activities prior to and following each viewing. A study guide accompanies the DVD.
