《比克拉姆：瑜伽、大师、性侵犯》审视了颇具争议的高温瑜伽创始人比克拉姆·乔杜里跌宕起伏的一生。20 世纪 70 年代初，乔杜里从印度加尔各答来到比弗利山庄，他很快就拥有了一批名人追随者，并打造了全球健身帝国，这为他带来了巨额财富。但直到 21 世纪 10 年代，随着大量性侵指控的出现，以及有关他充满攻击性、类似邪教的训练环境的故事浮出水面，诉讼开始增多，乔杜里的非法教学风格成为头条新闻。Netflix 原创纪录片《比克拉姆：瑜伽、大师、性侵犯》由奥斯卡金像奖得主伊娃·奥尔纳（《开往暗处的的士》《避难亦遭难》）执导，萨拉·安东尼（《神山》《反叛者》）担任制片人，讲述了那些打倒乔杜里的女性的故事，并针对这门疗愈性学科如何在帮助人的同时给许多人带来伤害这一问题，探索了其中的矛盾。Bikram Choudhury was at the forefront of popularizing yoga in North America and around the world.
