Reading some of the comments by others who have reviewed this film here, I find it almost unbelievable that they actually sat through the entire movie
This is a heart-wrenching document of a man's life for over two decades, filmed as it was happening and illuminated by the voiced narration provided by himself and many of the friends that went through these experiences with him. They all put their trust and faith in a charismatic man who hid behind spiritual truth while manipulating them for years into supporting him- indeed, into worshiping him- and, in many cases, into being his sexual playthings. The colossal betrayal of trust described here is beyond comprehension for most of us, and bravo to the filmmaker- and to his fellow former victims of this narcissistic charlatan- for having the courage to tell the story. Not only will it hopefully help to put a stop to their former guru's continued transgressions (yes, he's still at it), maybe it will also help to open people's eyes to the kind of hypocrisy and predatory behavior that such men practice in alarming numbers within our culture, right under our very noses.
