About This Series
In the late 1990s, the world was shocked by the mass suicide of 39 members of a new-age religious cult who believed their souls would "graduate" to an alien spacecraft behind the Hale-Bopp Comet. Co-founded by Marshall Applewhite, who once called the group "the cult of cults," and Bonnie Nettles, Heaven's Gate began in 1975 with the mysterious disappearance of 20 people from a small town in Oregon -- and ended in 1997 with the largest suicide ever to take place on U.S. soil. This four-part docuseries explores the infamous Heaven’s Gate cult and the stranger-than-fiction circumstances that culminated in the largest mass suicide in U.S. history.
