| Summary |
Compass revisits radical religious and social movements in Australia's recent past. From the Orange People to the Charismatics ... from Hare Krishnas to young volunteers on Kibbutz ... All were swept up by powerful spiritual beliefs, philosophies or ideals that changed lives, and left a lasting legacy. The Hare Krishna movement arrived in the West in the 1960s at the height of the youth revolution. Temples and farming communities soon sprang up around the world. Chandra and Dhara were raised communally on Australia's biggest Hare Krishna farm in northern NSW, where - contrary to popular myth - devotees lead a highly disciplined life as strict vegetarians, abstaining from drugs, alcohol, gambling and illicit sex, while worshipping Krishna, their supreme God, through prolonged chanting. So, who joined the Hares and why? And, where are they now? PRODUCTION DETAILS: Producer: Tracey Spring; Narrator: Geraldine Doogue; Executive Producer: Rose Hesp |
