Movie Haiku:Difficult to watch but ultimately rewarding. A young Australian woman travels to India & is overwhelmed by the potential for a different way of life. Her family (heavily caricatured) decides she has been brainwashed, so they lure her home & place her in the hands of an over-confident cult deprogrammer.
