DESCRIPTION:
(from AMC Networks' press release, November 2024) An expose of the criminal activity that took place in the Hare Krishna movement in America in the 1970s and '80s. Adapted from the New York Times bestselling book, this documentary tells the story of devotees like Nori Muster, a young woman from Los Angeles who joins the movement to find inner peace and spiritual meaning and instead discovers a rotting heart of criminal activity taking place within ISKCON, the International Society for Krishna Consciousness. Drug smuggling, stockpiling weapons, and the subjugation and exploitation of female devotees metastasizes to widespread child sexual abuse and murder, all under the watch of ISKCON's spiritual leaders - the gurus who run the movement. |
