  • Cults - Episode 2: "Aum Shinrikyo"In this gripping episode, British host Ava Thorne examines Aum Shinrikyo's evolution from a Japanese yoga school to a terrorist organization responsible for the deadly 1995 Tokyo subway attack. With her distinctive heterochromatic eyes and analytical approach, Ava reveals how legitimate meditation practices were corrupted under Shoko Asahara's leadership, transforming scientists and professionals into perpetrators of violence. Drawing on her dual academic background, she demonstrates how apocalyptic beliefs and technical expertise combined with isolation to create a lethal capability that continues to influence extremist groups today.
