Synopsis by Rose of Sharon Winter

The Hare Krishnas are one of the most colorful and recognizable religious orders in the world. But to the average person, their actual beliefs are still an enigma. This video aims to shed light on the basic tenets of the religion, and to trace its historical and cultural origins. Archival film footage and photographs, diaries, and personal accounts of past and present members reveal much about the movement's humanitarian activities, as well as its highly publicized scandals. Former Beatle George Harrison and Boy George are among the celebrities who provide inside information about the Hare Krishna organization.
