Children of the Cult is an investigation into the Rajneesh/Osho cult. One of the world’s biggest and most successful cults, it had communes in more than 30 countries in the 1970s and 1980s and was portrayed in the Netflix series Wild Wild Country. Maroesja, herself a child of the communes, travells around the world connecting with other former commune children, reveals a shocking truth that has long been concealed and that Wild Wild Country failed to tell, and confronts perpetrators.
