Film Night - Tucson, Arizona

A Dark Look Into the Children of God Cult
RISE International Film Screening and Fundraiser

On November 11th, 2007 Rise International held a fundraising event in Tucson, Arizona. The fundraiser included a screening of a British documentary Cult Killer which first aired on Channel 4 in the UK in August 2006 and later on ABC News in the United States as well as on television networks in a number of other countries. The documentary explored the tragic events that surrounded and led up to the murder/suicide of Ricky Rodriguez, son of cult leader Karen Zerby. After the screening, Don Lattin and Juliana Buhring gave a short talk about their recently published books, Jesus Freaks – Murder and Madness on the Evangelical Edge, and Not Without My Sister. This was followed by a book signing and wine reception. We would like to thank everyone who attended. Through this event we were able to raise $1000 for Rise International.
