Cult Killer
On January 7th 2005 Rick Rodriguez slit the throat of his former nanny and then blew his brains out on a lonely desert highway. Hours earlier he videoed his suicide note. The rambling 60-minute tape gives a remarkable insight into a deeply damaged life. It also lifts the lid on one of the most notorious religious cults to emerge out of the 1960s counter culture - The Children of God.
Cult Killer is a powerful and dramatic film which goes to the heart of one of world's most shocking sects. For the first time on television, using Rick's video and highly incriminating cult tapes and publications, we tell the tale of their very own home grown avenging angel.
'A first-rate documentary.' - The Daily Mail
