Wild Wild Country

In 1981, under the direction of his influential secretary Ma Anand Sheela, spiritual leader Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh moves his religious community, the Rajneesh movement, from India to a ranch in Oregon, marking a significant shift in the group's operations and public presence.

Tensions rise between a local community and the followers of Bhagwan, whose extravagant behavior disrupts the area's quiet harmony, leading to legal challenges. Sheela counters with a strategic and clever response to protect the commune.

Sheela becomes a prominent and charismatic spokesperson for the movement. With the election nearing, the Rajneeshees enlist thousands of homeless individuals to bolster their community and political influence.

Local authorities investigate the Rajneeshee community as tensions rise. Sheela's escalating pursuit of control leads to violence, prompting Bhagwan Rajneesh to speak out for the first time.

Tensions rise as Sheela's conflict with the Bhagwan strains the community, drawing federal attention. An FBI task force begins gathering evidence at the ranch.

The Bhagwan leaves the ranch, prompting the arrest of Sheela and other followers in Germany. Various individuals, including devotees and critics, contemplate his lasting impact.
