Batıda boşluğa düşmüş ve bir arayış içindeki zenginleri yolmak ve değişik seks deneyimleri yaşatmak için kurulmuş bir organizasyonun yozlaşması ve ABD'nin özgürlük ortamının radikal grupların büyümesine ne kadar olanak tanıdığının bir kanıtı.

The truest 6 episodes ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

An amazing and incredible story. Brilliant doco that combines source footage as well interviews with key players to produce what is arguably 2018's best docu-series.

To start with, this is a brilliant piece of documentary film making. There are literally no sides taken. As you watch it through and through with a neutral, humane perspective, you can see yourself swaying like you're on a moral see saw. That's how beautifully balanced this is. However at some point, you can see how raw, flawed and almost inhuman each side in this battle gets in order to "survive". The admiration and worship of a man that literally spills over the edges with fanaticism. The blindness and arrogance that power brings in to a deputy, almost stripping them of any empathy or kindness; the essence of what they were following as a way of life. The blind faith in the proxy leader that turned a peace loving mother into an assassin. But at the same time, there is a beautiful reference to how she "broke the spell". There are lines that make you wonder what power in the world makes a human being so delusional – "the joys of surrendering to the master", "the master of masters". The hysteria creeps up to a point where the whole crux of what was being followed and taught and revered is referred to as a con by the people who lead the very movement. But if you listen carefully, with an open, non-perceptive mind, what the man intended to show, to teach and for everyone to self-realize wasn't anything bad or wrong or overtly religious or spiritual or magical – it perhaps was something that would have evolved us, if it was channeled and moderated and propagated in the right way. The visuals and interviews also reek of pure xenophobia and prejudice at times; how repulsive people can be to the natives of another country or culture attempting to settle down in their midst. This is a pure spectacle of how fanaticism, politics, megalomania, xenophobia, paranoia, blind faith, greed and so many other dark elements create an ugly chemical reaction of sorts – an explosion that changes every one in the fray. While you may end up thinking how ridiculous the whole saga is, there is so much to learn from this even though this is the past. The characters, the thoughts, the dark elements still exist in our present day – multiplied, magnified and scattered throughout the world. Makes you really wonder where we are headed into.

This was simply just so impressively well made. Great interview, fascinating they gathered all that old footage and the pacing was dead on. I've read some of the other reviews here, and I really think they are unfair. The documentary did a very fine job on being non-bias and this surely was a story with many different angles to it. Some people wrote they weren't critical enough - well lady, that's the whole point ! The documentary is suppose to let you the viewer make up their minds and they did this perfectly. Both sides were essentially "in the wrong" and did terrible things, all in the name of "wanting their own culture survive". It wasn't too long, it told the story as it was and when you need multiple people's views, it takes time. Great craftsmanship. And heck of a score !

A decently informative, and entertaining docu-series that highlights quite a bit along the spectrum of willful ignorance and corruption on both sides. Depending on your own level of disenfranchised beliefs, you may see the appeal of this community shrouded by some pompous religious overtone, and sympathize with the general plight of having a basic constitutional right blatantly obstructed. Now, incidentally, the utopian followers, or at least the upper echelons, did have malicious motivations, but none the less the actions of the people of Antelope, and surrounding areas, were every bit as egregious as the cult themselves. It appeared to be a clear example of xenophobia mixed with a media leader who was charismatic and strangely appealingly vulgar in their "struggle" to simply be allowed to live in peace. They chose her well, because she did a pretty good job of sounding fresh in a society that truly does fit a lot of the descriptions she accused them of being. In reality, her accusations are only accurate in the upper echelons of the American democratic system the same way their corruption was all top heavy as well. We are all products of the society we live in. And given this was the foundation of theirs, it was only a matter of time before what happened... happened. Hopefully we all learn something from this. It's good. But not great. It needed a lot of the other horrid details about the cult. At the very least, explain the clothing. You know we're all thinking it. I would have liked to hear more from the people of Antelope. In the end I felt like I got a summary of the events, but not a lot of the who, how, and why. I recommend it though. It's worth watching.

Pretty good, but it was way too long. The interviews were good, but they made the series so long it did not seem to have a structure and seemed like it was just people rambling on. Like have the run time is some version of Sheela saying that she was going to fight and she was not going to back down. Almost the whole thing felt like the introduction to something that just would not take off. When something interesting was revealed, it took so long to get there and had been hinted at for so long that I felt almost no impact. Part of the problem was probably that it was so slow, it was hard to pay attention. Two hours would have been plenty enough time for this.
-
Wild Wild Country certainly lives up to its name - everything about this cult was wild. Fortunately they don't delve into sensationalizing the events for excitement - people from both sides of the conflict are interviewed in equal measure. Seeing just how brainwashed these people are TO THIS DAY is a site to behold.

I thought this was an interesting series but they could have compressed some of the episodes

Damn, I just wrote a thoughtful review that went poof due to tech issues. grrr. this will be much shorter. Basically, this was an irresponsible series which gave a platform for the self-aggrandizement of a bunch of murderous, manipulative, lying, narcissistic sociopaths, and took 6 hours to tell a story that could have easily been told in 2. There was a complete lack of critical analysis, and no checking or refuting or confronting the blatant lack of accountability that was perpetrated against the viewer. On the other side of the fence, the townspeople, who had legitimate reasons for concern and protest, also did not have their xenophobic, intolerant cronyism-studded, white supremacist world views examined either. The story and Truth was not served by letting each side tell its story unchecked. It made me mad. And beyond that, even after 6 hours, I still didn't have an understanding of *why* Baghwan's devotees thought he was so amazing. We were never given a flavor of what made all these people want to leave their lives and come live in remote Oregon.
