The Moonies: Married to the Cult

A cult family saga

The Moonies are best known for their mass weddings – the theatrical centerpiece of a widely popular religious movement founded by Rev. Moon in the pursuit of world peace. But beneath these spectacular ceremonies lie dark secrets. With billions in global assets, considerable political influence and millions of followers, the church remains a powerful yet shadowy force. Some claim it is simply a cult.
This compelling documentary reveals the explosive truth from the heart of the empire, featuring unprecedented access to insiders, including Rev. Moon’ s own son speaking out for the first time. From weddings and kidnappings to scandals and sex ceremonies, this is the can’ t-look-away story of a runaway religion whose legacy continues to shape our world today.
