Review:
In the late 1960s, a few free thinkers cobbled together donations, primarily from Hollywood, to buy 80 acres at the end of a dirt road in Siskiyou County, California: Big Bear Ranch, a commune with the motto "free land for free people." Archival footage, photographs, documents and news articles, and interviews with people who lived or still live there tell the commune's history: the cold first winter, women and men doing the same work, communal decision making, emerging environmental politics, free love and family formation, child rearing and memories of growing up there, a late 70's crisis with a cult-like group that moved in, and assessment by those grown old of what Big Bear meant. - IMDb

I've had this a while, got it from cg. I didn't watch the whole thing but didn't see enough of value to post it here. Since this is a REQ though I might as well post what I have to save others from spending time looking for it. Or maybe I missed something.

Agreed, virtually nothing FLM-related. I can't fault the people for their ideals, but they were very naive, human nature being what it is.

Although it's probably off-topic, reshare it, pls. Only 66 % available and it goes very slow (few MB per week). Thx., Jez.

I reshared it but don't know how much good it'll do because my internet is very bad right now. It's only been online for 4 out of the last 36 hours and upload speed is only 4.3KBps at best. Crappy 40-year-old infrastructure in a rural area...

Thank you, Phuzzy, finished
