Summary: Back to the garden: In 1988, filmmaker Kevin Tomlinson filmed and interviewed a group of back-to-the-land “hippies”–living off-grid, insultated from mainstream culture. In 2006, he tracked down his subjects again to find out what had become of their families’ utopian plans and dreams. This film captures a time-lapse view of these back-to-the-landers and shows that what seemed a fringe movement of extremes in the 1960s was actually a prescient foretelling of the green revolution. A circle and three lines: The peace symbol unifies people around the world, crossing language barriers and inspiring hope. This short film follows its history from the 1950s through today, challenging us to remember its past and take responsibility for its future.
