Wild Wild Country

In the early 1980s, followers of Indian guru Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh purchased a massive ranch in rural Oregon to build their utopian community from scratch.

What began as a bold social experiment quickly erupted into one of America's most explosive conflicts between a commune and its neighbors. This series chronicles the community's dramatic rise and spectacular unraveling, revealing how idealism, power, and paranoia collided in the high desert. Through extraordinary archival footage and interviews with both devoted followers and horrified locals, the series exposes shocking events that seem too wild to be true—yet every moment is real.

A gripping tale of how utopian dreams spiral into extremism when idealism, fierce loyalty, and us-versus-them conflict collide.
