Ondi Timoner, the documentarian behind the excellent DiG!, is apparently unrolling a new documentary about religious cults called Join Us (sorry, free registration required).

If you’ve not seen DiG!, I highly recommend it–it traces the awesomely melodramatic rivalry between the Dandy Warhols and the Brian Jonestown Massacre, two bands vying for the limelight. The real star of that documentary is Anton Newcombe, the musician behind BJM; he comes across simultaneously as a raving loon and an intensely talented musician. DiG! is entertaining in a look-at-the-train-wreck sort of way, and it introduced me to music I’m still listening to years later. I suspect that Join Us will be worth checking out as well.
