This excellent documentary about James Arthur Ray’s journey from Oprah-approved motivational speaker and self-help guru to ex-convict takes you deep inside an infamous sweat-lodge incident in which three people died. Ray’s monied, educated followers prove that anyone can fall victim to a charismatic, irresponsible leader.
(That’s a short video from Verge about the group embedded above, since I can’t find the actual trailer for this movie online. How very strange that a film chronicling the deaths caused by a rich, connected businessman would not have an easy-to-find trailer.)
