From Runaway to Hippie (1968)

Synopsis

This documentary about the Hippie movement was originally shown in three segments on NBC television's "Huntley-Brinkley Report." It follows several teen-age boys from a glue-sniffing party in their home town to the Haight-Ashbury section of San Francisco where they find marijuana and LSD. The film depicts a love-in, a Hippie wedding, Hippie dwellings, and curious tourists. The film also views communal farms inhabited by "runaways." The narration discusses the impact of Hippie culture on American society. Portions of the glue-sniffing scenes are identical to scenes in the film "Hello America."
