This documentary is genuinely one of the most shocking I've seen in a long time, primarily because of the disturbing behind-the-scenes footage. The situation continued to worsen and became increasingly isolating. You could witness moments where Amy briefly reconnected with reality, only to fall back into a deep psychosis that her devoted followers only exacerbated. Amy surrounded herself with people who knew her as "Mother God," rather than as the person she truly was. She was a woman who drank and smoked weed from dawn to dusk, ultimately losing some of her motor functions. Watching this resembles a train wreck in slow motion; it's obvious where this is headed.
I feel a tinge of sadness thinking about Amy's final days and the lack of support from the people she trusted most. There is something profoundly disturbing about the remaining members in episode 3. While it shouldn't be shocking to see such detachment from reality, I found it impossible to look away from the screen. I wish none of this had happened because it was all so preventable. I understand the desire to seek spirituality and find peace in this chaotic world, but there comes a point where the will to believe can lead you to abandon your previous understanding of reality. Before you know it, you might find yourself thinking that Robin Williams is one of your Galactic Guardians.
