Commune

In the early 1970s actor Peter Coyote and a group of young artists and activists moved to a remote Californian wilderness to create a new world, armed only with the slogan "Free Land for Free People." Fueled by contributions from the Doors, the Monkees, Frank Zappa and others, they bought an abandoned goldmine for $22, 000 and named it Black Bear Ranch. Utopian communities have always been a part of the United States, but in the 60's and 70's their audacious goal was to reshape the world with free love and common property-- creating a revolutionary movement that would spread to the rest of society. But utopia is different for each person, and these experiments often brought strife, jealousy and sometimes even endangered lives. (texte officiel du distributeur)
