In 1970, 1,500 hippies and their guru Stephen Gaskin founded a commune in rural Tennessee. Members forked over their savings, grew their own food, delivered their babies at home and built a self-sufficient society. Raised in this alternative community by a Jewish mother from Beverly Hills and a Puerto Rican father from the Bronx, filmmakers and sisters Rena and Nadine return for the first time since leaving in 1985. Finally ready to face the past after years of hiding their upbringing, they chart the rise and fall of America's largest utopian socialist experiment and their own family tree. The nascent idealism of a community destroyed, in part, by its own success is reflected in the personal story of a family unit split apart by differences. American Commune finds inspiration in failure, humor in deprivation and, most surprisingly, that communal values are alive and well in the next generation.
Leave your thoughts about American Commune.
| Playback:stlSarah Boslaugh...American Commune is more a nostalgic look back at a time now vanished than it is a critical examination of The Farm, or the "back to the land" movement in general. |
| Digital JournalSarah GopaulA lot of footage is spliced into the film, illustrating and confirming people's memories. Rather than interview people, it feels as if the filmmakers are just having conversations with them. |
| User ReviewPatricia HFantastic film! Very interesting and informative. Just saw it in Sebastopol CA. There were 24 original Farm members at this viewing and it was an experience of a lifetime for me. I lived on The Farm, was married there, but left in 1972. It was the experience of a lifetime. The spiritual practices I learned from Stephen and from being on The Farm gave me the foundation to be who I am today. A must see film, great memories. Thank you. Blessings and deepest gratitude |
