This beautifully conceived documentary goes where no documentary has gone before – inside the hidden world of the Exclusive Brethren. The Exclusive Brethren believe they are ‘the chosen’ ones and exclude themselves from the world, living apart, sending their children to Exclusive Brethren schools and working in businesses run by Exclusive Brethren.
For the first time anywhere in the world, elders of a branch of the Exclusive Brethren allow cameras behind the veil to discover how an Exclusive Brethren family really lives.
We also meet four people who have been excommunicated from the Brethren. Totally isolated from their old life, they are outcasts, shunned by the family and loved ones they leave behind.

Oops, Wrong Planet is a remarkable insight into the world of Asperger Syndrome; a condition at the mild end of the autism spectrum. Stubborn, inflexible, anti-social, with bad fashion sense, poor table manners and given to temper tantrums, 'Aspies' are frequently dismissed as nerdish geeks. Asperger traits can be identified however in many historical geniuses from Isaac Newton to Andy Warhol and Hans Christian Anderson. Fairy tales such as The Ugly Duckling are classic allegories of life with Asperger's. Are whistle-blowers more likely to be Aspies, just like the little boy in The Emperor's New Clothes?
