Child of the Commune (2004)

None | Netherlands | 50 min
Directed by: Maroesja Perizonius
7.8

When she was six years old, Maroesja Perizonius and her mother traveled to India, where Bhagwan gave her a new name: Ma Prem Chandra. They followed the teachings for seven years. Incorporating old photographs and film footage, and by revisiting the commune's compound, Perizonius reconstructs her childhood in the Bhagwan movement. Examples of people she speaks with are the former Amsterdam commune leader and especially her mother. The latter claims she wanted her child to make her own decisions; Perizonius feels she was still too young to do so. According to her mother, she wanted to go to the commune; according to Perizonius, she clung to the doorpost on the day they moved.
