Great documentary showing how hostile the society can be to ideas of freedom. On the other hand, it also shows that even people with the best intentions can become derailed by power struggles. The world would be a better place if people were more tolerant and open minded. I highly recommend the series.
The fact that they had so much videography to make it into actual 6 hr series is quite unbelievable
This is one of the best documentary series I have ever seen.
Really interesting documentary.
Both sides of the conflict are well highlighted and the escalating problems and the size of the cult are almost unbelievable.
I kinda got the feeling if both sides were just better neighbors to each other this whole thing wouldn't have happened though.
The false equivalency this show attempts to establish is just staggering. "Sure, they murdered and poisoned some people, but look at these xenophobic people over here!"

it's disappointing to see how a person is not allowed to live freely. Christians are rigids. with their limited mindset they have wiped off the native Indians and they claim to be super clean .
if they would have not opposed the establishment none of this would have happened at the first place. they provoked the Sanyasi and brought the situation at the edge where they blame everything on the red people
Because I never heard of this cult (or "movement" as they call it) before, I didn't have any expectations whatsoever towards this docu-series.
Overall I found it informative and it was interesting to hear firsthand accounts from people wo were in the midst of Rajneeshpuram or living in Antelope, Oregon for decades, before the "Orange People" came.
It was very impressive to see, what the Rajneeshees built on that empty, rocky property within a short amount of time - the idea to build a community from scratch is intriguing. When you see the footage of those early positive, energetic and creative days you can sense, why these people wanted to be a part of the resettlement from India to Oregon.
I would have loved to get to know more about the Rajneeshpuram medical laboratory, since it was the place where they cultured their very own Salmonella bacteria in order to incapacitate the voting population of The Dalles, Oregon so that their own candidates would win the 1984 Wasco County elections. 751 people were poisoned! It's the first and single largest bioterrorist attack in the history of the United States of America (bigger than the 2001 anthrax attacks) but unfortunately this docu-series didn't manage to capture the dimension of it.
The ending is kind of ironic because the former compound is now inhabited by the world's biggest Young Life camp. One could argue they switched from one cult to another up there, the only difference is the Christians are more welcome than the followers of an Indian guru were. (I'm obviously talking about the time before any of the crazy stuff happened.)
And on a final note, the font was really hard to read!
I never knew all these things about him. This was intresting .

It's interesting that there is never a conflict until the Christians get their panties in a wad.
