boris-110 Review of Wild Wild Country

Wild Wild Country (2018– )

Quite interesting but seemingly biased in its omissions

[5/10 · 19 December 2018]

Very interesting story but too centred on the power and guilt of the "1st officer" and failed to question the power and guilt of the leader. How wonderful the producers should get this commissioned as a 6 part documentary series and how unforgivable that they should then fail to give any "in depth" investigation. So many shocking things are mentioned in passing and then glossed over - the more I watched the more I thought the lawyer for the commune had to be a co-producer. The ending is again glossed over - the "cult" had communes all over the world operating without the leader residing with them so why did the commune collapse in the USA when he was deported - was it not because he ran away with all the money and it couldn't maintain itself financially. No in-depth explanation of the massive immigration fraud no in-depth investigation of the financial side of the organisation no interviews with disillusioned commune members no questioning of how this intelligent all seeing guru didn't know what his personal right hand woman was doing in his name and to just say he was taking drugs and that they drugged the homeless people as a quick aside in the story left me thinking someone is deliberately not giving more investigative detail here. Oh and the lawyers last quote - I'm writing the definitive book on what happened- thanks for the 6 hour advert for that !
