Oh Netflix, how do you make documentaries so good. This is a 6 part documentary, each an hour long. (I don't know why IMDB says 2 hours, it is not. It is more than 6 hours in total).
Though being an Indian, I had no clue about anything concerned to Rajneesh a.k.a. Osho except a quote or two said by him sent by a friend on Whatsapp, which always pissed me off as I dislike all kinds of god-men. This documentary is not about Osho rather about what happened when he and his team of followers came to a small town, Antelope in Oregon (U.S.A). The stunning amount of video and audio footage used is wonderful. The interviews of people and followers then and their very self, now is what makes the documentary wanted to be watched.
At times I understood the mind of the people who stood against him for reasons concerning their land. Their peace was disturbed by the entry of so many people in red robes. That's scary. But on the other side, I felt the hypocrisy of Americans a tad too much, who welcomed teachings of another brown man from the East 2000 years back and now pray to him daily but had problems with this brown man from the East who was just trying to awaken everyone; this man's followers jumping around happily is not OK but some guy somewhere saying, 'Hallelujah, you are cured' is OK? No one can teach others if they don't teach themselves first. How can you bring calmness and peace in one's life if you yourself don't have it? This documentary sums it up.
You might like him or hate him but you will love this documentary for the stunning number of footage used while making this and the wonderful editing too. Keep an open mind while you watch this and, you should watch this. You will love it.
