On this episode I speak with documentary filmmaker, Clay Tweel We discuss his most recent work directing the new HBO Max miniseries Heaven’s Gate: Cult of Cults.

We get into what drew him to the story of Heaven’s Gate, how his presentation of this story provides a window into the minds of those who found themselves wrapped up in Marshall Applewhite and Bonny Lu Nettles teachings, the importance of understanding why these 39 people were so willing to take their lives in 1997, parallels between cult behavior and Trumpism, and much more.
