To believers, the Moonies offer truth, enlightenment and the spiritual unification of the world. To critics it's an evil form of bondage, where vulnerable young people are reduced to a mental condition where they can only follow the orders of the organization. Eileen Barker set out to discover the truth behind the headlines. Do people choose to become Moonies or are they brainwashed? The Moonies also seemed an excellent case study to explore the wider sociological issue of the relationship between the individual and society.
