Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh (later known as Osho) preached freedom in every field, an attitude that caught on with his generally highly educated followers, the 'sanyassin', in the 1970s and 1980s. The movement decides to leave its home base of India and find a place for a utopian commune, in maximum freedom. The supporters settle in the American state of Oregon, where they buy a huge abandoned ranch (Big Muddy). Just outside the valley of Big Muddy is the town of Antelope, which was home to about fifty people in the early 1980s, which quickly caused a riot. Brothers Chapman and Maclain Way reconstruct the riot through vast amounts of archive material with extensive recent interviews.
