Osho in America: between the counterculture and the conservative reaction

  • Nicolas Viotti

PRemembered at the Sundance festival and celebrated as one of Netflix's phenomena, Wild Wild Country catches the eye within minutes of watching it. In six one-hour episodes, each one traces the experience of the spiritual movement led by Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh (later known as Osho) in the United States. The plot recounts in detail how the followers of one of the most famous and influential Indian gurus of the last decades bond with the inhabitants of Antelope, a town of fifty people in the northwestern United States.
