When an LA-based millennial known as Guru Jagat becomes the face of Kundalini yoga, her meteoric rise to fame and stunning fall from grace expose a multi-billion-dollar spiritual empire fraught with abuse. This docuseries paints a portrait of a seeker turned guru and examines the complicated intersection of spirituality, cultural appropriation, and capitalism.
After the Screening: A conversation with co-directors and executive producers Hayley Pappas and Smiley Stevens, and co-executive producer Hayley Phelan—who wrote the original Vanity Fair story, “The Second Coming of Guru Jagat.”
