In 1995, a doomsday cult perpetrated an attack on the Tokyo subway that killed twelve and injured thousands. Learn what happened afterward in this in-depth series.

This 11-episode series is written like a documentary and contains legal and other terminology that might be unfamiliar to many readers. This warrants a difficulty rating of Advanced, but it also represents a great opportunity to to learn the kind of vocabulary and grammar that appear in this sort of writing.
