3. Wild Wild Country

Wild Wild Country is a fascinating docuseries about a cult that drew a lot of media attention after settling in Wasco County, Oregon in 1981. The cult (or the Rajneeshpuram community) sets out to build a self-sustaining town. After a while, tensions start to brew with other residents of Oregon and reach a boiling point when internal power struggles are also thrown into the mix. Furthermore, there are rumors of orgy parties, murders, and bioterror attacks. Thanks to the Rajneeshees’ not-so-shy PR strategy, you can see the actual TV footage reporting on the events as they unfold. Despite the conflicting memories, the creators do a great job laying out the varying accounts seamlessly.
