:”Everyman is a British television documentary series that aired on BBC One in a late-night slot on Sunday evenings between 1977 and 2000. Its subject matter tended to be focused on moral and religious issues, often in the form of a film in which individuals would discuss their thoughts. … Throughout much of its time on air, series of Everyman aired alternately with Heart of the Matter, a debate series which featured somewhat similar topics. Both series were cancelled in the 2000s after the BBC revamped the output of its religious programming.“ Quotation by [[https://www.famousfix.com/topic/everyman-tv-series]].

:This film opens with celebration footage from [[The March Event | The March Event London 1981]]. This provides a remarkably unbiased picture of Osho and his Sannyasins. Peter France claimed in the beginning that he didn't want to write a shock report and substituted: “These cults deal in a very intense way about the issues which are important for all of us. They think it is a genuine religious experience. Something of value to tell us.”

:The film portrays Bhagwan in India, his move to the US, his invention of meditations like Dynamic, and the therapeutic interactions by Sannyas group leaders, particularly in the UK. Additionally, the video features sannyasins at work and in therapies. Christianity's value of suffering is contrasted with Sannyasins' attitude of joy and celebration.

;editor's comment
:This documentary offers a remarkably impartial view of the subjects, breaking with the BBC's usual severe criticism in its coverage of Osho and Sannyasins. Peter France, a devout Christian, makes observations with an interesting perspective without passing judgment.

There are talks and interviews with a variety of Sannyasins regarding Bhagwan, their life as a Sannyasin, therapy, meditation, and sex, of course. The interview questions and tenor were quite critical in contrast to the documentary's overall tone.
