Ten years after leaving The Hare Krishnas, the host looks back at their time living on an ashram with the benefit of hindsight. While sharing their story, they explore the isolating and coercive tactics the group often uses to maintain control over their members, and the lengths the groups will use to maintain their power. Expect personal anecdotes, historical research and an exploration of media about and by the group.
