- "They jailed him in chains, deported him from America and said he was finished. But the controversial guru is back. And in a very big way.
- From all over the world thousands of affluent and educated seekers are flocking to his ashram in Poona, India.
- Producer/director Cynthia Connop and crew gained exclusive and unprecedented access to Rajneesh himself, and to the exotic private and public lifestyles that have earned him headlines around the world.
- A central focus of the film is the conflict of a young Australian husband and father who leaves his pregnant wife and his son to explore what it is Rajneesh and his ashram in India have to offer.
- The documentary also provides intimate portraits of some of the disciples around Rajneesh, including a young American actor, a former CIA agent, a German princess and Rajneesh's personal dentist. :Rajneesh's own origins are traced as well — from his early years and his rise to prominence in India, to his role in the much-publicised American commune that collapsed when he was deported from the USA.
- Objectively and provocatively, RAJNEESH: SPIRITUAL TERRORIST! profiles one of the most enigmatic men of our time."
