Raël: The Alien Prophet

In the '70s, after an alleged encounter with aliens called "the Elohim," Raël takes to the media to spread their message — and build loyal followers.

When Raël turns to his acolytes for funding, doubt begins to brew. Later, an explosive TV interview unearths suspicious sexual practices within the cult.

In America, Raël lobbies for human cloning with biochemist Brigitte Boisselier. The alleged birth of "Eve" in 2002 ignites legal and media scrutiny.

After a journalist infiltrates Eden and exposes his activities, Raël flees to Japan. As the cult continues to spread, a new messenger emerges in Africa.
