About

Tim Guest was three when his mother dyed all their clothes orange in the bathtub of their flat in Leeds. So began a journey that would take them to communes in India, Germany and Oregon, change their names, separate them and bring them together. Tim's mother has become a sannyasin, a follower of the Bhagwan Rajneesh, the charismatic Indian guru who preached a doctrine of Eastern mysticism and sexual freedom.

Left alone while the adults meditated, chanted, and engaged in group therapy, Tim--now known as Yogesh--was free to explore a new world of  unsupervised freedom. But life with the Orange People is never simple, and soon the movement begins to turn in on itself, replacing fee love and openness with paranoia, surveillance and repression.

Funny and heartbreaking in equal measure, My Life in Orange is a story of an extraordinary childhood--and a fascinating look into the world revealed in the hit Netflix documentary Wild Wild Country.
