Synopsis

It was March 20, 1995 when the Aum Supreme Truth cult poison gas attack took place in the Tokyo subways. This documentary, shot on a home-use digital camcorder by a freelance TV journalist, covers the everyday, quite ordinary lives of the Aum cult members by gaining access to their housing facilities, and turns the camera around onto the "fanatic" media crowd that surrounds them.
