Welcome to Armagedon

Why do some people want to believe the world is going to end? In this disturbing documentary award winning film maker Paul Yule seeks out religious groups with an apocalyptic vision. In Jerusalem the End Timers wait in the town of Armageddon for the final battle of Armageddon. In Japan he meets members of the death cult Aum Shinrikyo who tried to kick start the apocalypse with a lethal nerve gas attack on the Tokyo subway. The mother of Branch Davidian leader David Koresh talks about the death of her son and his followers and we meet surviving members of the mass suicide cult Heaven’s Gate. The film paints a worrying picture of a powerful and elusive force – our willingness to believe to in a final reckoning.
