Interesting and a little terrifying...

This documentary is definitely interesting in its examination of the modern day cult. What's terrifying is how it shows how easily people are drawn into the cult mentality and lifestyle, no matter how far from reality the ideologies are. What's fascinating is that even after Amy's death, many of her followers are adamant that she is God and that they did the right thing by denying her medical care and overdosing her on colloidal silver. And they still believe in her! They even have these largely dilated pupils all throughout their interviews. I don't know if that's a sign of psychosis or not, but I found it quite curious. All in all the cult seems like a mixture of stoners, swindlers, and mentally unstable people who somehow found each other. I think the real dangerous person is Michael, the guy who manages the money. I think he saw Amy and realized she was extremely mentally ill and chose to exploit her and her ignorant followers until the very end. He always seemed a bit estranged from everyone and at the end hadn't spoken with Amy in a few months before her death. He's the true evil.
