Ma Anand Sheela - Beyond Wild Wild Country
Date: Aug'18 I Personal Project I Role: Interview & Photography
Like everyone else who has watched Wild Wild Country, I was intrigued by this fearless character of Ma Anand Sheela who is an Indian-born American-Swiss former spokeswoman and personal secretary to OSHO, and one of the central figures in the Emmy-winning Netflix documentary-series Wild Wild Country.
One afternoon while touring Europe, I just emailed her my wish to see her and she replied: "Yes, Saurabh we can meet on 12th August 2018." So I travelled all the way to a remote village of Maisprach in Switzerland and spent a couple of days with Sheela and her family to interview and to photograph her other side beyond Wild Wild Country. She has been running care homes for almost 30 years now and uses creative methods to heal her patients with mental disorders. Moreover, my interview has stories from her childhood to her time in the US Prison.
