In 1962, Mary Ann MacLean and Robert de Grimston were expelled from the Church of Scientology. They were not considered orthodox enough. Shortly afterwards, the couple instead founded The Process Church of the Final Judgment, a sect founded on Scientology and Christianity, but with one clear difference: the view of the devil. The sect spread throughout the world and grew over many years. It is said to have been the inspiration behind Charles Manson's cult, the murder of Bobby Kennedy and the heinous act of serial killer Son of Sam. This is the documentary that offers the most astonishing insights and depicts the sect behind the veil that always separated them from the outside world.
