Review: Wild Wild Country

When in 1981 the revered Hindu guru Bhagwan (Osho), leader of the Rajneesh sect, and many of his fanatical followers began to build a utopian city in the middle of nowhere next to the small town of Antilope, Oregon, USA, conflict with the locals escalates into a national scandal. In this documentary, unpublished images are shown and all the main people involved in this case are interviewed.

It’s hard to imagine a better way to reflect a story like this. You may like it more or less, but not for the method used, but for the simple fact that the narration of these real events doesn’t capture your interest.

During the six chapters topics such as discrimination, justice, deception, conspiracy, tolerance, hatred, weakness and strength of the human being, among many others, are discussed. This aspect is precisely what is interesting, because I think that this documentary-series is not aimed at that audience that seeks superficial and temporary entertainment. The audience that really enjoys watching content that makes you think is who I advise watching this series.

And, above all, what stands out the most is the honesty of the story, it doesn’t take sides, you don’t have the feeling that you are being taken for a fool, but it allows you to reason for yourself.
‘Wild Wild Country’ is a must for lovers of documentaries about the most unusual true events. Sometimes reality is stranger than fiction.
