Kumaré is an American 2011 documentary film directed by Vikram Gandhi.

To record the documentary, American filmmaker Vikram Gandhi transformed himself into Sri Kumaré, an enlightened guru from a fictional village in India, by adopting a fake Indian accent and growing out his hair and beard. In the film, Kumaré travels to Arizona to spread his made-up philosophy and gain sincere followers.

Kumaré premiered at the 2011 South by Southwest Film Festival (SXSW), where it received the festival's Feature Film Audience Award for Best Documentary Feature. Gandhi came up with the idea of a fictional guru while recording another documentary film about yogis and their followers.

Synopsis

En Birmanie, le « Vénérable W. » est un moine bouddhiste très influent. Partir à sa rencontre, c’est se retrouver au cœur du racisme quotidien, et observer comment l'islamophobie et le discours haineux se transforment en violence et en destruction. Pourtant nous sommes dans un pays où 90% de la population est bouddhiste, religion fondée sur un mode de vie pacifique, tolérant et non-violent.

The film is about an Iranian filmmaker and his son who travel to Israel to learn about the role of religion in the world. While the son goes out to the Wailing Wall, the Dome of the Rock and Christian sites, the father stays at the Baha'i gardens to learn about a faith that came out of his own country—Iran. The film is similar to Gabbeh and The Silence in style.

Malte's sister Barbel is shown defending her father and insisting that he could not have known the full truth about Auschwitz, that he tried to resist or subvert the Nazi's most inhumane policies, and that the victims of Auschwitz should be thought of as casualties of war. Malte also includes testimony from a member of a Jewish family in Slovakia whose house was expropriated by the Nazis in the early 1940s.
