THE ANGEL MAKER tells the story of life within the internationally connected religious community Methernitha, which still exists in Switzerland today. Paul Baumann, the founder, not only established a self-sufficient commune but was also the inventor of a world-changing energy machine. In 1976, he was sentenced to seven years in prison for multiple cases of sexual abuse of minors. At the heart of this documentary series are the powerful stories of the children who spent their childhood and youth in Methernitha and later set the legal process against Paul Baumann in motion.
