The wild Seventies. A quest for higher consciousness, 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. At 21, she knows: all she wants is to be with this man. 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 his bodyguard. Sheela becomes his secretary and the powerful boss of Bhagwan's model community born in the mountains of Oregon...

This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

I've just watch this movie. I was rather shocked that such a documentary could be made so one sided. It is literally based on the opinions of two people that blame others for their own actions and failures. From what I have read about Sheela, she was more "fifteen lives for one ours" than the innocent victim and gentle sole reflected by the interviews. The director must have had personal issue with his man to have been able to create such a subjective not objective film. I was hoping the film would give me a better insight yet I was left feeling I was not give the true story. I was very disappointed by the poor standard of journalism.
