IUPUI Film Student Documents UFO Cult
A pair of Hoosiers (Abdullah Hashem & Joe McGowen of Mooresville) have been documenting the Raelian movement. As you may or may not know the Raelians are a religious group, often called a cult, that believes the human race was started through genetic manipulation by extraterrestrials. They gained international attention in 2002 when an affiliated company named Clonaid claimed they had succeeded in creating the first human clone.
Hashem & McGowen went to Las Vegas in order to document what they believe are the Raelians' unethical recruiting practices which involve enticing lonely and disaffected persons to join the group through the use of sex.
Hashem & McGowen recently launched a website to promote their work.
They were featured in Wired Magazine.
Here is a story on their work from their hometown.
They also did an audio interview with the virtually strange network.
