I have not read this long-ass thread yet, but plugged in 'osho' in the search engine and saw nothing of it. So posting some info on the documentary making the rounds on my social media circle:
Osho (named posthumously as in 'ocean') was the grandaddy pimp of India that started a commune in Oregon in the 80s...

In mid-1981, Rajneesh relocated to the United States, where his followers established an intentional community (later known as Rajneeshpuram) near Antelope, Oregon south of The Dalles, Oregon. Almost immediately, the commune's leadership became embroiled in conflicts with local residents (primarily over land use), which were marked by hostility on both sides. The large number of Rolls-Royce cars purchased for Rajneesh's use by his followers also attracted criticism. The Oregon commune collapsed in 1985 when Rajneesh revealed that the commune leadership had committed a number of serious crimes, including a bioterror attack (food contamination) on the citizens of The Dalles. He was arrested shortly afterwards, and charged with immigration violations. Rajneesh was deported from the United States in accordance with a plea bargain. Twenty-one countries denied him entry, causing Rajneesh to travel the world before returning to Pune, where he died in 1990.

The Rajneeshees were sure they were building a beacon city for the world and, as such, they documented most steps of what was an ambitious, from-scratch process. Salacious footage of gyrating, purging meditation exercises, as well as writhing orgies and matter-of-fact nudity is more than offset by mundane footage of land-clearing, construction and spiritual conversation. It was also a story that interested the national media and captivated the Pacific Northwest media, and Sheela was a stylishly dressed, casually profane provocateur given a frequent television spotlight.
Ma Anand Sheela, now living in Switzerland, is the series' showcase talking head. More than 30 years after the events of the series, she's still blunt, combative and completely untrustworthy.
