The Children of God was an global, abusive cult. Their leader, David Berg, prophesied that the comet Kohoutek signaled the destruction of America. Ex-member Perry Bulwer helps tell the story of spreading the prophecy, fleeing America, and how he eventually escaped the cult.
CORRECTIONS: Bulwer did not run the printing press in the Seattle commune, and David &nbsp;Berg did not specify that Armageddon would last 20 years.

When comet Kohoutek arrived in 1974, it left a trail of curiosities in its wake. In five episodes, What Comet Kohoutek Left Behind tells stories of the music, new age mythology and counterculture named after the comet. Featuring interviews with former cult members, musicians, collectors, hippies and occultists, the series explores tales of afrofuturism, doomsday prophecies, an anti-fascist robot band, and psychedelic warlocks.
