The story of the life and death of a commune in Massachusetts from the late 60's to the 80's. These folks got into it with the best of intentions...sincerely trying to create a new way of life...rejecting the stultifying conformity of the Eisenhower 50's. It went great for a time but, like all the others, fell victim to the ego of the founder and the sheer impossibility of establishing a new way of life while surrounded and eventually engulfed by the mainstream.
This touched a large nostalgic note in me. I never did this but strongly felt the need for a movement like this. Sad story. Well done film.
