This is what Elysian Park in Los Angeles looked like in 1968. And yes, it looks exactly like what you expect.

The world of 1968 seems to have been split into two dynamics: political unrest, with protests, assassinations and civil rights... or young people too full of drugs to care one way or the other. The reality, of course, is that most of the 1960s was just as normal as any other decade.

But who wants normal? Here we see a bit more of the drug culture. While there is at no point any footage of people using drugs, the implication is clear. The dress, the reactions to the music (on an almost spiritual level)... these are hippies. And lots of them.

This film provides a look at the hippies culture from one instance at a Love-In in 1967. This a very bare documentary as Les Blank refrains from interviews and instead only documents the various activities. He does this almost too bare though with no sense of direction of purpose of the film besides showing what life was like at this moment.

The music seems rather bland now and its not something I would watch again unless for educational purposes.
