In this premiere episode of "Cults," British host Ava Thorne examines the Heaven's Gate group that conducted a mass suicide in 1997, believing they would board an alien spacecraft hiding behind the Hale Bopp comet. With her heterochromatic eyes and distinctive scar, Ava draws on her dual PhDs to analyze how Marshall Applewhite and Bonnie Nettles transformed normal people into devoted followers through incremental belief changes. Through her analytical framework and hints of personal experience, Ava reveals how the group pioneered digital recruitment techniques still used today, demonstrating why intelligent, educated people abandoned their lives for an otherworldly promise.
