  KUMARE

  A provocative social experiment-turned-documentary, Kumare follows American filmmaker Vikram Gandhi as he transforms himself into a wise Indian guru, hoping to prove the absurdity of blind faith. He heads to Phoenix, Arizona, to see if he can build a following.

  In the end, though, he finds himself forging profound connections with people from all walks of life – and wondering if and when to reveal his true self. Will his followers accept his final teaching? Can this illusion reveal a greater spiritual truth? Winner of South by Southwest's Audience Award, Kumaré is an insightful look at faith and belief.

  As anyone who has robbed old ladies will tell you: The easiest activity in the world is deceiving people to make money. People's religious gullibility - and/or stupidity - makes their deception and fleecing easier still. Praise the Lord - while you're on your knees, I'll be going through your bank accounts.

  Of course, it helps if practitioners of deceit possess dulled consciences, psychopathic personality traits and a fast and groovy motorcade out of town.
