I am surprised that "Rael" Claude Vorilhon let this documentary movie see the light of day.
This does not paint Mr Vorilhon in a very good light and someone who is a joke to most but laughing all the way to the bank by those stupid enough to put their trust in him.
After watching this I came away feeling vindicated that this man is nothing more than the wannabe con man a lot of people take him to be!
For someone claiming to be an alien contactee his story is very vague despite meeting them every day for a week in 1973 to get their message out to humanity.
In all that time he couldn't trouble Elohim for one bit of physical evidence to take back to humanity to support his claims.
You only have to look at Vorilhon's life story of failed pop star to intrepid racing car reporter and magazine owner, which was nothing but a rag by all accounts, to then take the ultimate leap in his quest for stardom by reinventing himself as a cult leader.
Mr Vorilhon has done very well out of his venture being able to travel the world, indulge in his passion for racing cars, meet and have a bevy of young women fall at his feet like groupies, you have to hand it to him in that sense lol
Within his con artistry there is some good ideas about how humanity should live going forward, although these ideas were apparently stolen from the author Jean Sendy!
There was also a programme in Africa to help the victims of female circumcision, whether most of that was for the camera, I guess we'll never know.
All in all, I find this movement very suspect in its motives although they are not dangerous in my opinion with his deluded followers quite happy to indulge Claude's every whim.
I just find it disturbing that in the 21st century people are ready to fall for the claims of a man who comes across as a very kitsch early 70's hippie with a Buck Rodgers style story and make it fly for a few idiots!
