Secret societies is the new code word for organizations believed to pull the strings of the world. These groups have been both credited and blamed for a great many nefarious acts perpetrated against humanity. Among the most infamous of secret societies stand without doubt the shadowy Illuminati. The Illuminati is a name given to several groups, both real and fictitious. Historically, the name usually refers to the Bavarian Illuminati, an Enlightenment-era secret society founded on 1 May 1776 in Bavaria, today part of Germany. This documentary film seeks to point a spotlight on the rumored “keepers of the light.”
