A well rounded documentary. Shows both sides of the story. Interesting to see that despite differences with the way they were brought up the devotees keep coming back. My visits to Iskcon temples in the UK and once at Bangalore, India have been enriched by witnessing the sincerity of western devotees. Beautiful, talented people living their lives on universal principles of love, non violence and devotion. We are vegetarian and look for hare krishna restaurants whenever we visit Europe (Eastern European cities can be a vegetarian's nightmare)
Of course, there is a bit of bigotry (which is so alien to the pluralistic tradition of India) when you hear Hare Krishna people preaching. Their books say there's no salvation if you don't accept Krishna as the supreme. I don't mind that because I don't have to agree with them to visit their temples. And other religions are so full of bigotry anyway.
