Punk rock, B-movies, and Jehovah’s Witnesses unite in this heartfelt documentary.

Aliens from Spaceship Earth(1977)

Bhaktivedanta, Guru Maharaj Ji, Yoga Bhahan, Sri Sathya, Sai Baba, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, Father Yod, Baba Ram Das, and well-known personalities who present their views on seeking their own terrestrial individuality.
