About the Film

Far Out: Life On & After the Commune traces fifty years in the lives of a group of New England writers, activists and artists. It conveys how the 1960s counterculture, embodied in two rural communes, transformed America. The story begins when a group of radical journalists leave New York for a new life in the country and follows them from the back-to-the-land movement to a new discovery of political commitment.

Documentary – 85 Minutes

Directed by Charles Light

Talkback with Charles Light (filmmaker), Harvey Wasserman (writer), Verandah Porche (poet), & Patty Carpenter (composer)
