<p>Author of Psychedelic Cults and Outlaw Churches, Mike Marinacci joins the show this week to discuss Pierre Sogol&#39;s, unfinished, and officially unreleased documentary, Aquarius Rising. </p><p>Aquarius Rising charted the counterculture scene - communes, psychedelics - of California circa 1967, filmed very much in a home video style, with the director often inserting himself into the documentary. But who exactly is Sogol? Most know that &#39;Pierre&#39; Sogol&#39; is a pseudonym, but luckily Mike drops the details who exactly this enigmatic director is. </p><p>And because this film is technically unfinished, and somewhat scattershot, we use Aquarius Rising, more as a jumping off point, to discuss the lineage, influences and and the disparate figures that popped up in the counterculture of the 60s, and its lasting effect on the larger culture. </p><p>You can find the full documentary at PsychedelicSangha.org, and you can find Mike on Instagram at: @PsychedelicCults </p>
