In 1985, recent film school graduate Will Allen became a member of The Buddhafield, a Los Angeles area spiritual group. Also acting as the group's official videographer, he began to document their activities, which centered on the mysterious leader they called Michel, or The Teacher. Over time, the group's dark side began to surface as total devotion turned to paranoia, until finally, unexpected truths about their enlightened leader were revealed -- all in front of Allen's camera. This incredible, 22-year archive of video footage became the basis for HOLY HELL. Now, for the first time since he left the group, Allen turns the camera on himself and asks fellow ex-cult members to come to terms with their past and the unbelievable deceit they experienced.

Pretty freaky sex cult, the way it's filmed is cool since the director had always been into filming/movies since he was a kid. The movie paints a great picture of how normal folks get sucked into a cult and how hard it is to leave once you are in.

Wow! I love this doc and really came to care about the victims. I've watched it 5 times

great story, great story.
