Back to the Garden, Flower Power Comes Full Circle

About This Movie

Back to the Garden, Flower Power Comes Full Circle offers a fascinating glimpse into the lives of those who sought alternative lifestyles in the late 20th century. You can really feel the weight of hope and idealism in the earlier interviews from 1988. The way Tomlinson captures the essence of those back-to-the-land aspirations is striking, especially as he revisits them nearly two decades later. There’s a sort of bittersweet quality to the pacing, revealing how dreams often morph over time, sometimes into unexpected realities. The documentary does a nice job of showcasing both the vibrant spirit of the '60s and the more sobering reflections of adulthood. It's an engaging look at the consequences of those radical choices, and worth a watch for anyone interested in cultural history.
