Chris Carlson, a former member of the Moonie cult, plays himself in this riveting drama about his experiences in Sun Myung Moon’s insidious organization. The film begins when he accepts an invitation to dinner from an attractive young woman on Fisherman’s Wharf in San Francisco, then finds himself a hundred miles away in a remote camp in Northern California. An unsettling story of the exploitation of idealism and the perversion of spiritual values, Moonchild is a cautionary tale that reveals the fluidity of identity and the vulnerability of the human heart.
