Story Inspiration
A chilling tale of obsession and manipulation is brought to light in the new documentary “We Regret Nothing.” The film follows the disturbing events that led up to December 14th, 2011, when a self-isolated young man, fueled by a belief in the possibility of eternal life, convinced his followers to donate their blood and ultimately their bodies to his twisted cause.
The documentary explores how unchecked childhood fixations and over-indulgence can lead to unpredictable and dangerous outcomes. The title of the film comes from the cult leader’s mantra, “We regret nothing,” which served as a focal point for the group’s twisted beliefs. Through a series of one-on-one interviews, “We Regret Nothing” delves into the minds of those involved in this shocking case.
Despite the disturbing nature of the events, the story was largely kept out of conventional media due to concerns about copycats and the potential for further harm. Both press and law enforcement agreed that the risks were too great, leaving this tale of manipulation and horror to remain classified until now.
