The hard-to-believe but one-hundred percent true story of the Unarius Academy of Science —an extraterrestrial-channeling spiritual school and self-healing community founded in El Cajon, California in the 1970s. Under the outlandish direction of its charismatic leader Ruth E. Norman, known to followers as “Archangel Uriel,” Unarius evolved from a fringe spiritual movement into a wildly prolific public access television staple of the 1980s.

Director Jodi Wille (The Source Family) brings this singular American story to the screen with the same affectionate, wide-eyed fascination the subject demands.
