America's Extreme Cults: The End of the World That Never Happened

This documentary follows a group of people utterly convinced they knew the date of the end of the world, using their story to explore how belief hardens into certainty. Titled Right Between Your Ears, it asks how we turn convictions into supposed truths and why we struggle to admit we might be wrong. It is a fascinating study of faith, doubt and the human mind. A thought provoking watch on cults, belief and the psychology of certainty. Free to watch in HD on Dr Documentary.
