    Storyline

    Edit
    The Seventies. A quest for spirituality and sexual freedom. In England, young Hugh Milne hears the voice of spiritual teacher Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh on an audiotape and travels to India in search of his own self. Sheela Patel, a young Indian woman, is brought to the charismatic guru by her father. In his Ashram in Poona, Bhagwan urges his disciples to meditate and practise tantric sex in order to reach a higher plane of consciousness. Hugh watches the guru's ascent as a bodyguard, Sheela becomes his secretary and later the powerful boss of Bhagwan's model community in the mountains of Oregon. The dream turns into a nightmare, for Hugh into a mental breakdown, for Sheela into a prison sentence. —Anonymous

    One Sided Story
    I din't know who this man was though I came across some of his books which were quit interesting. When I watched this documentry, I was stunned and disgusted to see so many sheep following someone who wanted to make hell loads of money. Later one of my friends asked me to watch Wild Wild Country and after watching it, I felt I was wrong. People had their own believes. This documentry is so one sided and show the whole picture in a bad light. I can't believe the director cut the story into pieces and patched it up where ever he wanted changing the whole damn point of view.
