Give Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh some serious time on YouTube first, before watching. None of the episodes gives real insight into his person nor into his philosophy. Because of this, most viewers will picture him as an idiot or a charlatan and will not understand his followers. By ignoring the protagonist and his leitmotiv 'Wild, wild country' is just about rednecks and hippies.
Deep in our hearts we know that it is the bad guys who win, so there is this melancholy in de the end; this strange longing to this unknown world of...
The documentary also reminds me of the story of one devil alarming another devil with the news of a newborn messias who is preaching truth, freedom & love.
'We have to do something about it!' The other devil says.
'No need for that!' interrupts a third devil: 'He has followers already!'

I was really wanted to like documentary, however I found it to be so flawed that I couldn't even finish it. I am not one to stop watching something as I generally like to see things through. Especially since I had already made it halfway through, which totals 3 hours. However, I felt that I had learned so little about anything actually going on that the best half was unlikely to improve much. They feel the need to show you several different people saying the same thing ultimately getting you nowhere. On the other hand other things are glossed over. I do not understand the love for this show. Somehow they made a cult, something that should be very interesting, boring. So disappointing.

This was an very good documentary but I did have some problems with it. The people in the cult giving the interviews were never questioned on what they had done. They were just telling their story and were never questioned about the poor treatment of the locals in Antelope. The real footage was excellent and the music was also perfectly fitted. I am shocked this happened and I never knew about it. 8/10

Despite the fact that some twists and story elements are overexpressed, the show brings the patient viewer some real questions, facts and dilemmas about the world we live in.
