From the BAFTA award-winning team at Story Films, The Moonies: Married to the Cult is an unmissable documentary, revealing astonishing truths and unprecedented access into this world of a widely popular religion shrouded in secrecy.

The Moonies are best known for their mass weddings - the theatrical centrepiece of a widely popular religious movement founded by Rev. Moon in the pursuit of world peace. But beneath these spectacular ceremonies allegedly lurks a darker side – a powerful organisation with billions in global assets, considerable political influence and millions of followers. The church remains a powerful yet shadowy force – some claim it's simply a cult.
The Moonies: Married to the Cult (w/t) features unprecedented access to insiders, including Rev. Moon’s illegitimate son, Sam Park, speaking out for the first time about his experiences of mass weddings, sex ceremonies and not being acknowledged by the man he believes to be his father; whilst a host of other contributors share their compelling experiences, from kidnappings to escapes, and other jaw dropping stories from the inside of a runaway religion whose legacy continues to shape our world today.

The documentary will be available on Prime Video in the UK and Ireland from 2nd November.
