Filmmaker Ben Anthony specialises in observational documentaries, from Al-Jazeera’s newsroom during the 2003 Gulf War to the Women’s Institute. His
diary from our Jan/Feb 2008 issue is based on his stay with a cult in New Mexico, while filming
The End of the World Cult for Channel 4. Visit the
New Humanist blog to see what the cult’s “messiah” thought of the film.
