I'm a big fan of Jodi Wille, director of the impeccable California cult documentary, The Source Family. And I'm also a devotee of anything Thalia Mavros and her new women-led media company, The Front, do. Swirl these phenoms together, and you come up with this glorious short documentary, We Are Not Alone, about the Unarius Academy of Science. Unarius was a spiritual art collective led by its clairvoyant, flamboyant founder, Ruth E. Norman. She and her members created a staggering oeuvre of theatre, art, and song all of which was meant to encourage healing and psychic growth in the participants. The film is chock full of archival footage, interviews, and prismatic visuals that are sure to brighten your day. It's a fascinating, trippy, and ultimately rather dear story, so do give it a watch here.
