  • Production Notes
    Production Notes ABOUT THE FILM Timed to the 50th anniversary of NASA’s celebrated Apollo 11 mission, Apollo 11: First Steps Edition is a thrilling cinematic experience that showcases the real-life moments of humankind’s first steps on the Moon. In this special giant screen edition of Todd Douglas Miller’s (Dinosaur 13) critically acclaimed Apollo 11 documentary, the filmmakers reconstruct the exhilarating final moments of preparation, liftoff, landing, and return of this historic mission—one of humanity’s greatest achievements, and the first to put humans on the Moon. It seems impossible, but this project was possible because of the discovery of a trove of never-before-seen 70mm footage and uncatalogued audio recordings—which allowed the filmmakers to create a 47-minute version of the film tailored exclusively for IMAX® and giant screen theaters in science centers and museums. Apollo 11: First Steps Edition is produced by Statement Pictures in partnership with CNN Films. The film is presented by Land Rover, and distributed by MacGillivray Freeman Films. “The Apollo 11 mission was humanity’s greatest adventure and we’re pleased to be bringing this edition to science centers and museums everywhere,” says director Todd Douglas Miller. “This film was designed to take full advantage of the immersive quality of IMAX and giant screen theaters.” But how did it happen? How did this one-in-a-lifetime batch of footage remain undiscovered for fifty years? Miller explains that as his team was working closely with NASA and the National Archives (NARA) to locate all known Apollo 11 footage, NARA staff members simply discovered reels upon reels of 70mm, large-format Apollo footage.

  • Wild Wild Country: How a Hippie Cult Inspired a Must-Watch TV Phenomenon Telegraph.Co.Uk; London [London]10 Apr 2018
    Wild Wild Country: how a hippie cult inspired a must-watch TV phenomenon Telegraph.co.uk; London [London]10 Apr 2018. Arson, mass poisonings and a utopian Eighties cult - Alice Vincent discovers the story behind the latest must-see true-crime show "We knew from the beginning that we weren’t out to make a traditional true-crime story,” says Chapman Way, co-director of Wild Wild Country. And he’s right: there’s no whodunnit, and no dusty case files, while all of the criminals involved have pleaded guilty and done their time. And yet since its release last month, this gripping six-part Netflix documentary about the Rajneeshpuram commune in Oregon has been fuelling conversations at dinner parties and water coolers, just like other word-of-mouth true-crime hits Making a Murderer and the Serial podcast did before it. The biggest mystery about Wild Wild Country is why the events it recounts have been so forgotten over the past 30 years. It centres on a cult formed of 7,500 people who took over of a tiny town in rural Oregon in the early Eighties, rapidly creating their own “city”. But that is just the beginning of a mind-boggling series of events that involves a silent guru with a magpie- like love of glittering Rolls Royces, his megalomaniac, smiling secretary, immigration fraud, wiretapping, and the largest bioterrorist attack in the history of America. At its heart is a clash of values: between the traditional rural lives of Mid-American citizens and the utopian ideals of those seeking a new way of being.

  • The Demise of Religion: How Religions End, Die, Or Dissipate
    Stausberg, Michael. "Playing the Religion Card: The Creation and Dissolution of Rajneeshism." The Demise of Religion: How Religions End, Die, or Dissipate. By Michael Stausberg, Stuart A.

You may share this work for non-commercial purposes only, provided you give attribution to the copyright holder and the publisher, and provide a link to the Creative Commons licence. 8 Playing the Religion Card: The Creation and Dissolution of Rajneeshism Michael Stausberg For a religion to end there has to be a religion in the first place. In many cases labeling something a religion seems uncontroversial. This is the case, for instance, when the social formation so labeled derives from one of the historical worldviews that are commonly called religions. Several so-called religions comprise established mechanisms of internal differentiation, for example, the establishment of sects, schisms, denominations, schools, or cults (in the sense of organized forms of communal worship). In these cases of derivation, the main protagonists tend to be familiar with the former religious traditions, be it as active participants or as being part of the same cultural and social context. On the other hand, there are cases of cross-cultural and cross-religious inspiration; if somebody who has grown up in a country where Buddhism has no established social presence starts to propagate some “Buddhist” ideas and gets others to do the same, the resulting ensemble would probably still be labeled a religion because Buddhism is generally considered such a thing.

  • Celebrity Scofflaw How the Feds Helped Make Cliven Bundy a Hero by Tay Wiles April 30, 2018 | $5 | Vol
    PARKS AND PRIORITIES | FRACTURING NATIVE FAMILIES | THE UNSPOKEN LANGUAGE OF ACEQUIAS High Country ForN people whoews care about the West Celebrity Scofflaw How the feds helped make Cliven Bundy a hero By Tay Wiles April 30, 2018 | $5 | Vol. 50 No. 7 | www.hcn.org 50 No. | $5 Vol. April 30, 2018 CONTENTS Editor’s note Wild country For anyone with an appetite for the West’s ongoing culture clashes, the new Netflix series Wild Wild Country is an unexpected feast. It describes how the followers of Indian guru Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh bought a ranch outside of rural Antelope, Oregon, in the early 1980s and attempted to build a utopian community. The series hits themes familiar to High Country News readers: a persecuted minority seeking a remote place to practice their beliefs without interference; conservative white locals with little tolerance for outsiders; fabulous wealth (the Bhagwan reportedly had 90 Rolls Royces and wore million- dollar diamond watches) contrasted with wretched poverty (the Rajneesh community bused in thousands of homeless people from cities in an attempt to sway local elections); and, of course, guns and violence. There’s even an environmental angle — Oregon’s first counterattack focused on the community’s violation of progressive land-use regulations designed to protect agricultural lands from development. Cliven Bundy walks out of federal court in Las Vegas with his wife, Carol, and attorney Bret Whipple in January, I couldn’t find anything about this tumultuous after a judge dismissed criminal charges against him and his sons over the 2014 standoff in Bunkerville, Nevada.

  • A Comparative Study of the Rajneesh-Osho Movement and the Counterculture
    Counterculture Dystopia: A Comparative Study of the Rajneesh-Osho Movement and the Counterculture A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements of the Renée Crown University Honors Program at Syracuse University Junjie Ren Candidate for Bachelor of Art and Renée Crown University Honors Spring 2020 Honors Thesis in Religion Thesis Advisor: _______________________ William Robert, Associate Professor Thesis Reader: _______________________ Gail Hamner, Professor Honors Director: _______________________ Dr. Danielle Smith, Director © Junjie Ren 2020 ii Abstract This thesis project investigates the thematic and visual connections between the global Rajneesh-Osho movement and the international counterculture. As a high-profile, controversial New Religious Movement (NRM), the Rajneesh-Osho phenomenon draws ready associations with the rhetorics and aesthetics typical to the counterculture of the 1960s. Their Utopian experiment, the Rajneeshpuram, enacted seemingly countercultural projects on a massive ranch in Central Oregon. As a spiritual enterprise that burst into global prominence from India during the 1970s, the Rajneesh-Osho’s movement embodies traits of postmodernism as a way to embrace an increasingly global market dominated by the discourse of profits and materiality. Contrary to popular beliefs, this thesis states that the Rajneesh-Osho movement only appears to be countercultural. The evidence relies on primary sources and generations of scholarly comments on both the counterculture and the Rajneesh-Osho movement. This project comparatively examines the visual connections and mental pairing to reveal that the Rajneesh-Osho movement is, in fact, a counterfeit of the counterculture with covertly dystopian agendas. iii Executive Summary In 1981, thousands of orange robe-wearing Sannyasins settled on a desert ranch in Central Oregon.

  • A Study of the Traditional Business Practices of Three Religious Cults
    PROFITS AND PROPHETS 2 Abstract Existing research suggests that there are instances of cult-like behavior in the corporate realm, specifically in high-performing teams. Notable occurrences of this can be found in organizations such as Enron and Madoff Investment Securities, which exhibited traits aligning with characteristics of religious cults. These characteristics include the manipulation of employees, a strong organizational culture, various tools to enhance competition and recruiting abilities, manipulative hierarchal relationships, and the overcommunication of deceptive messages. While facets of the corporate realm mimic religious cults, there are also notable behaviors exhibited by religious cults which mirror traditional businesses. Three religious cults (specifically the People’s Temple, Heaven’s Gate, and Rajneeshpuram) demonstrated characteristics of traditional businesses including the offering of a product, internal networks and infrastructure, product movement, revenue generation, and an implementable marketing and recruiting plan. While the goods offered by each religious cult were not tangible, they were valuable services marketed to a pliable audience which resulted in the exchange of money, possessions, and in some instances, lives. PROFITS AND PROPHETS 3 Profits and Prophets: A Study of the Traditional Business Practices of Three Religious Cults There are infinite ambiguous interpretations and definitions of a business with none being concise. In an investigation into the elements of an entrepreneurial business it is noteworthy that, “the most consistently emphasized components concern the value proposition, the customer, internal processes and competencies, and how the firm makes money,” (Morris et al., 2003, p. 729) which summarily describes the key areas of focus of a business. In addition to this, businesses are comprised of multiple levels to ensure success: economic, operational, and strategic (Morris et al., 2003).
