Aleister Crowley: The Wickedest Man in the World

Aleister Crowley: The Wickedest Man in the World explores the life of the most famous occultist the world has ever known. Using information drawn from Aleister Crowley’s own writings and other sources, the documentary follows the life of a man who often referred to himself as the Great Beast 666. Crowley’s relatively humble early life and adventures in mountaineering soon gave way to more nefarious pursuits.

Veteran actor Brian Cox narrates the story of how Aleister Crowley came to be regarded as the wickedest man on the planet. Curious events, such as Crowley’s alleged battle with a demon named Choronzon, are explored, and contributors discuss his influential work, The Book of the Law.
