Summaries

A look at the unbelievable story of the Order of the Solar Temple, a cult that made headlines in the 90s, whose followers believed that they could, through suicide, be transported to the star Sirius in order to live out an afterlife.

-Director Jean-François Poisson and head researcher Sophie Charest have turned over all the stones to tell the story of how Joseph Di Mambro and Luc Jouret led 74 people to their deaths from 1994 to 1997 in France, Quebec and Switzerland. /// Di Mambro and Jouret wanted to "transit" to the star Sirius to escape the end of the world on Earth and, perhaps, all the attention the cult had received since it was revealed in 1993 that it had infiltrated Hydro-Québec. The collective suicides should even have been done in Quebec (Canada), but the gurus would have moved them to Europe and even anticipated them because of all the paranoia that had taken hold of them.
