On the morning of March 20, 1995, a deadly nerve gas attack in the Tokyo subway sent the nation and its people into chaos. In their examination of the story behind this terrorist attack, directors Ben Braun and Chiaki Yanagimoto tell the story of the rise of Aum Shinrikyo, the cult responsible for the attack. Featuring conversations with survivors while providing a terrifying overview of the missteps that lead to Aum launching their attack, the film bings audiences inside the mechanics of the doomsday cult and the powerful hold its leader Shoko Asahara had over his followers.

In English and in Japanese with English subtitles.
