Solar Temple, the impossible investigation

“The Solar Temple: The Impossible Investigation” is a documentary series told like a thriller that revisits the incredible story of the Order of the Solar Temple sect. After a series of tragic and mysterious events, Swiss, French, and Quebecois police officers, along with three journalists, embark on an international investigation to understand the incomprehensible. Through a series of strange encounters and pieces of evidence, they follow the trail of one of the most obscure and fascinating sects of the 1980s and 90s. Suspense, plot twists, and tragedy unfold as this series presents an extraordinary investigation and reveals the relentless mechanics of cult rhetoric. How does one come to believe in the existence of a parallel truth? With the key players in the case and exceptional archival footage, we relive this sensational affair that profoundly marked the minds of the people and its era.
