The film's focus on the death of Gareth Williams, who died in 2010, seems to be a factual error in the prompt as the film is listed as 1990. The actual film with this title released in 1990, also by Nick Broomfield, is about the cult-like behavior and practices of a group of friends and their spiritual leader.
