image washing

Documentary that presents the victimization of those who murdered an innocent baby...A reflection of how the rich can do whatever they want in this country. The accomplices of the murder continue to live their lives normally in their luxurious homes, without repentance...when they should be paying an exemplary sentence in prison. It is shocking how they do not problematize what they did, Pablo Undurraga and Natalia Guerra should be in jail, the Chilean judicial system is shameful. In fact, the making of this documentary gives the impression that rich people can pay (without remorse) for an entire documentary to remain victims or whitewash their image, which is irresponsible on the part of the production company, however, the money it's more important...Poor rich people.

Painful to watch

When you introduce the most powerful physcoactive drugs on the planet then you get this, 9 times out of ten, mix an already charasmatic leader and religious idealogy and boom...But what I REALLY want to say is : idiotic morons! Idiotic morons! Idiotic morons! Idiotic morons! Idiotic morons! Idiotic morons!And now understand the violence to innocents - well...."and he made us..." " and we had to..."enough said! Repugnant//in terms of the documentary objectively, above average.If I'm being honest, this is a poor documentary about a subject that could have been "covered" better, in general -

The Doomsday Cult of Antares De La Luz: A small scale Chilean Cult which had a larger effect due to human sacrifice.. The founders names was originally Ramon de la luz but he changed it to Antares de la luz, Antares being a rather bright star. He was a musician, tutored village kids, talking heads in the documentary speak well of his pre-cult activities. He took to using hallucinogenic drugs, mostly consisting of ayahuasca-derived substances after going through a ceremony with a shaman who appears in the film. He formed a cult whose members lived a regimented lifestyle. Shortly afterwards he discovered he was God. Now how could you disobey the edicts of the Supreme Being? Several cult members are also interviewed and footage of them with the police is also shown. They don't try to downplay their roles in the crimes but do plea that they were under duress and heavily drugged. You'll have to view the documentary ro learn how the cult moved from sacrificing animals to slaying an infant. Interesting documentary, could have been tightened up though, would have benefited from a 15 minute cut in it;s 100 minute running time. Directed by Santiago Correa, Written by Valerie Schenkman. On Netflix. 7/10.
