...Narrator: As a convicted felon, Moon was sent to the Federal Correctional Institution in Danbury, Connecticut. During his 13 months in prison, he faded from public consciousness.

(Soundtrack) Moon: "Distinguished leaders, religious leaders..."

Narrator: But Moon has been quietly gaining strength in the United States ever since. He still hints that he is the Messiah — most recently, before five hundred religious leaders in San Francisco in August,1990.

Narrator: While Moon remains a controversial spiritual leader, his Church in America has a surprisingly small following, estimated to be no more than five thousand members.

Narrator: His Movement, once labelled a cult, is now more accurately described as a conglomerate. From media operations in the nation's capital... To substantial real estate holdings throughout the United States... And from large commercial fishing operations... To advanced high-tech and computer industries, a Fifth Avenue publishing house, and literally dozens of other businesses, foundations, associations, institutes, and political and cultural groups... Moon and his money have become a force to be reckoned with.

Whelan: "All we know is they are spending a great, great deal in this country."

Narrator: James Whelan was the editor and publisher of a Moon-financed newspaper, the Washington Times.

Whelan: "Probably more on influence and the obtaining of influence, of power, than of any organization I know of in this country, and that includes the AFL-CIO, that includes the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, that includes General Motors, that includes anybody."

Narrator: How and why did Sun Myung Moon amass such power and influence? The search for answers begins here in Korea, nearly six thousand miles from America's shores...
