"Grew up going to camp at this ranch in OR in the summers, never knew the history until now 🤭 This doc sucks you in!"

"Freaky! Easy to watch the whole thing in one sitting 😅😱"
Jenna Hayden
"Watch this in bits. Honestly it was so intense I had dreams about Ma Anand Sheela! "

"A fascinating true story. Back home in India, Osho ashram always seemed enigmatic and stories from West about it, enchanted. This documentary gives a true view into that real story. "

"great subject for a documentary but unfortunately this one falls flat. the narrator is boring and pacing is slow as a glacier. I love reading about the history of this cult but I literally had to turn off the documentary due to boredom. "

"True story of a commune that moved into a tiny town in eastern Oregon and dramatic conflict ensued. Great storytelling without editorializing."
Avery Bell
"Didn’t find this documentary to be very interesting. I feel terrible for the people who lived quietly in their small community which was overrun by these people. Completely stomped them out. Their sick games to “win” is so petty. I don’t understand how ALLLLLLL these thousands of people gave their whole life to this man? He said maybe 100 words the whole documentary. Why? Nothing better to do? Bored? There was a lot of unanswered questions I had.. 6/10 ⭐️"

"Rally just socks you in. Watched in one sitting."

"A controversial cult leader builds a utopian community in the Oregon wilderness, attracting a devoted following and sparking controversy that eventually leads to a violent confrontation. I was pretty underwhelmed by this documentary. It just didn't grab me. The whole thing felt like a snooze fest, with too much repetition and not enough substance. The Bhagwan's story is certainly unusual, but it didn't feel like it was being told in a particularly compelling way. Maybe I was just expecting something more, but it didn't leave a lasting impression on me."

"A fascinating mid-1980s explosive documentary series where the more you watch the crazier it seems how it was even forgotten in the first place "
