The program tells the story of Indian spiritual master Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh and his disciples’ arrival in Oregon during the summer of 1981, their plans to build a utopian community in remote Central Oregon and the events that unfolded over the next five years.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN lang=EN style="mso-ansi-language: EN">While news organizations worldwide covered the story of Rajneeshpuram, a local station, KGW TV in Portland, decided to keep their tapes rather than record over them – a common practice in the news industry. The tapes provided valuable documentary information about day-to-day life at the commune and from 1981 to 1986. Eventually, the TV station donated the aging tapes to the Oregon Historical Society, who applied for and received a grant from the Oregon Heritage Commission to preserve and transfer about 200 of them to a newer digital format.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
