After numerous recommendations, I watched
The Institute - a documentary capturing the phenomenon of 'The JeJune Institute' - a San Francisco collective that appears to be part Cult, part Alternate Reality Game, part religion, part counter-culture and part reality. It's really all in how you decide to take it in. It does get a bit cheesy at times with some transparent acting but, miraculously, that somehow lends itself to blurring the line even further.
At the very least, it's hard to imagine being a part of the story as it unfolded. It's a nice reminder to let yourself be consumed from time to time.
Bonus: The
poster is by
Mark Weaver and you can watch it
on Netflix right now.
