WELCOME SPACE BROTHERS plunges into the astonishing—and entirely true—story of the Unarius Academy of Science, an extraterrestrial-channeling spiritual school and self-healing community founded in El Cajon in the 1970s. Guided by the dazzlingly eccentric Ruth E. Norman—revered by followers as “Archangel Uriel”—Unarius transformed from a fringe metaphysical movement into one of the most inventive public-access television phenomena of the 1980s, complete with cosmic pageantry, interplanetary wisdom, and unforgettable DIY sci-fi visions.
With the same curiosity and wonder that made The Source Family so captivating, director Jodi Wille brings this singularly American saga of belief, performance, and transcendence to the screen.
“If I didn’t know this was a documentary, I’d swear it was a WTF, insane, sci-fi tale of weirdness.” – Film Threat
