On March 22, 1997, Hale-Bopp made its closest approach to Earth, at 122 million miles. DO and his followers meticulously cleaned the house, took out the garbage, polished the silver and packed their things. The sign was above; the time was now. Outside, the bougainvillea were in full bloom as the group began executing “The Routine,” a document they’d created that precisely choreographed how teams would help each other to wash down phenobarbital-laced helpings of applesauce and pudding with vodka, a lethal combination that did its work painlessly. “Lie back and rest quietly,” the ritual instructed, which they did, covered in purple shrouds, a $5 bill tucked in their wallets, waiting for the “elixir of life” to cause drowsiness, then a coma, and finally a circulatory-system collapse. No one knows the exact timeline, but within three days, all the members of Heaven’s Gate were dead.

Beyond all the media hype and the sensationalizing of the Heaven's Gate incident lies the true story. These were real people with real feelings, not unlike you or me. They sacrificed and mutilated their bodies in the name of what? Evolvement ? Salvation? God? Were they not looking for the same answers as all of us? Who are we? Why are we here? What happens to us after we leave are bodies? What is the meaning of life? What might seem like quite insane actions, maybe be acts of courage or heroism? While we the producer and director of this film would never advocate castration or suicide, we must wonder, all of us; why ?

We invite you to come on a journey with us that will explore the questions that have plagued mankind since the beginning of time, thus drawing him into cults, the fatalistic dooms day approach to the millennium, the addiction of religious benediction and the ultimate self-sacrifice. the world saw them die, now see HOW THEY LIVED.
