translation: The New Man
A documentary made by Frank Wiering for Dutch broadcaster VPRO.
It follows four sannyasins in the Dutch communes of "Heerde" and "the Amsterdam jail", as they live and work (worship), also visiting the Third Annual World Festival at Rajneeshpuram. The four are Ma Prem Dassana, Sw Ekanto, Sw Deva Ojas and Ma Preyas.
20 years later a sequel would be made: VPRO - De meester en het echte leven (2004).
During early screenings with the participants, there were fierce conflicts about the "framing" of certain scenes, which were apparently favorably resolved.
By Dutch sannyasins at the time, and to this day, it was seen as one of the most truthful documentaries made by an outsider. The maker was clearly interested in the matters on a personal level, and dares to show so in the film.

Back cover:
In 1984 maakte programmamaker Frank Wiering onder de titel DE NIEUWE MENS een film over de Bhagwan beweging. Mensen die de Indiase Guru Bhagwan Shree Rasneesh als hun meester erkenden en zich overgaven aan zijn lessen.
Wiering volgde vier van hen, Ojas, Preyas, Dassana en Ekanto van een leefgemeenschap op de Veluwe via de commune in Amsterdam naar Rasneeshpuram in de VS, de plek waar de meester toen verbleef. Zij waren toen net als Wiering zelf op zoek naar verdieping van het leven, ontworsteling aan de dwang van de consumptie maatschappij, carrière en status.
Met Ojas, Preyas, Dassana en Ekanto verloor Wiering ieder contact. Frank Wiering koos voor zekerheid, heeft een vaste aanstelling bij de VPRO, leeft in redelijke wel­ stand en een niet vreselijk spectaculair pensioen daagt en dat voelt als uitzicht op het einde. Toch moet er meer zijn! Maar waar gaat een mens tegenwoordig te rade als hij zoekt naar enige verdieping van leven en toe­ komst. De mogelijkheden zijn beperkt. De pensioen adviseur? De financiële adviseur? Psychiater of Prozac?
Misschien was het goed de zoekenden van twintig jaar geleden weer op te sporen en daar het licht op te ste­ken. Want zij verbrandden toen alle schepen achter zich. Zij maakten een duidelijke levenskeuze. Waar zijn zij terecht gekomen? En hoe hebben de lessen van de meester hun verdere leven bepaald?
DE MEESTER EN HET ECHTE LEVEN is een her­nieuwde kennismaking met vier mensen die er ooit voor kozen hun leven een volstrekt nieuwe wending te geven. Het is een zoektocht naar een andere manier van -en kijk op- het leven. Een verbijsterde, jaloersmakende en ontroerende confrontatie met het bestaan...
