Synopsis

The film examines the hippie culture in San Francisco's Haight-Ashbury district and features Today Malone, a middle-class girl who left home for the new lifestyle. There are scenes of LSD trips, "acid rock" music performed against a background of psychedelic lights, nude swimming and dancing, Indian religious services, a discussion on guerrilla theater by San Francisco Mime Troupe director Ronnie Davis, and a marijuana-smoking session in Golden Gate Park. Throughout the film the positive attitudes of the hippies are contrasted with comments by doctors, psychiatrists, and policemen about the physical and mental dangers involved with the hippie lifestyle.
