Join director Jodi Wille for the NYC premiere of her new film, Welcome Space Brothers.
UFO’s and extraterrestrials are all the rage as the government declassifies secret files and movies and television are producing new dramas about human contact with alien life.
But we have been here before! WELCOME SPACE BROTHERS plunges into the astonishing—and entirely true—story of the Unarius Academy of Science, an extraterrestrial-channeling spiritual school and self-healing community founded in El Cajon in the 1970s. Guided by the dazzlingly eccentric Ruth E. Norman—revered by followers as "Archangel Uriel"—Unarius transformed from a fringe metaphysical movement into one of the most inventive public-access television phenomena of the 1980s, complete with cosmic pageantry, interplanetary wisdom, and unforgettable DIY sci-fi visions.
With the same curiosity and wonder that made The Source Family so captivating, director Jodi Wille brings this singularly American saga of belief, performance, and transcendence to the screen – and shines a light on our current fascination with worlds beyond our own.
A talkback with the director and performance by the Unarius choir will follow the screening.
