Louis Theroux's Weird Weekends - Season 3 - Eps 2: India: Enlightenment
Louis travels to India to witness Westerners seeking enlightenment. In Goa he meets 57-year old American astrologer Deepak who studies meditation. He moves on to meet Mike, who is a follower of Swami Ganapathi Sachchidananda, and Amma who claims spiritual powers through hugging people. He joins Amma on a pilgrimage with 400 believers on their three-month tour of India. He also meets Swami Ganapathi Sachchidananda, but is not convinced that the Swami's techniques differ from those of magician David Copperfield, whose stage show the Swami once enjoyed while visiting Las Vegas.
