La Fraternité is a Swiss documentary television miniseries about the Order of the Solar Temple (OTS), notorious for numerous mass murder suicides in the 1990s.

It received a positive critical reception, with praise for its usage of interview testimony and the previously unreleased videos and images.

The documentary discusses the Order of the Solar Temple (OTS), notorious for several mass suicides and murders committed by its members in the 1990s.

[2][5] The series follows the history of the OTS, with a particular focus on how it started and what led those involved to join, concluding with the end of Tabachnik's second court case.

[1][7] In making the documentary, its creators had access to archival and legal materials that had not been published prior, including videos produced by the OTS itself of their conferences or religious rituals.

[9] It took two years to convince Tabachnik to be interviewed for this documentary; Morath described him as "traumatized" by the whole affair and that it was "almost a miracle" he had agreed, with a fear that people would distort his words as had happened before.

[2] Other people interviewed in the production of the documentary include the religious historian Jean-François Mayer, who was part of the investigation into the case, Alain Vuarnet, relative of two of the Vercors victims, and former member Charles Davergne.

[10] The Tribune de Genève rated it four out of five stars, saying it possessed "storytelling worthy of the best Netflix productions" and a "captivating" narrative.

They noted it as being unique in that, while many other works had discussed the OTS to the point that "almost everything has already been said" about it, this one looked into its start in depth, with usage of archival materials that had not previously been released and interviews with former members.

[6] A review from Jean Friedrich of the newspaper Le Regard Libre praised the documentary as "well-crafted" and exploiting the typical conventions of the genre, saying it shed more light on what had led to the tragedy and its "resolutely human origins".

However, he criticized Tabachnik's complete denial of responsibility for anything that had occurred, but noted that Mayer and Lemasson's external analysis put his words and role in the group into context.
