Documentary

A feature documentary film set in Hollywood, examining a radical experiment in '70s utopian living.

They fled to Hawaii, leading to their dramatic demise.

VIBE

A hazy, sun-drenched look at a radical 70s commune. It feels like sifting through faded photographs of a dream that curdled, leaving behind a lingering sense of lost innocence and the unsettling allure of charismatic leaders.
