This is the part two of the story of a Japanese Doomsday Cult.
Aum Shinrikyo wasn’t just a cult, it was a ticking time bomb.
What began as a search for enlightenment and spiritual growth slowly transformed into something far more sinister. This episode dives into the cult’s origins and its self-proclaimed Messiah Shoko Asahara, who used manipulation and brainwashing to justify chemical warfare and mass death.
We follow the chilling path that ultimately led to one of the most horrific acts of domestic terrorism in the heart of Japan.
And it ends with a question Japan is still asking today:
How do you destroy an ideology when its followers believe they were right?
