In Part 1 of a mini-series, we’re taking a dive into the religious cult of Heaven’s Gate, starting with a background on leader Marshall Applewhite. What were the group’s beliefs? How did they live on a day-to-day basis? And what compels someone to leave behind their lives and identities to join? What events took place to lead to mass suicide in 1997?

Researched, written, hosted and produced by Dawn Gandhi

Note: A voice actor provided the reenactments of Marshall Applewhite's speeches based on actual transcripts.
