Summer of Love

Synopsis

In four (two) creatively composed episodes provided with clips from Jefferson Airplane, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison, The Rolling Stones, Cat Stevens, Led Zeppelin and many other legendary artists of that time, the documentary deals with the central topics of this unique phenomenon in pop history: The Summer of Love. The sexual liberation and the search for new, spiritual ways were most important for an attitude towards life that established its own event- and party culture for the first time in history. The documentary is based on interviews with vocalists like Donovan, Art Garfunkel, Adam Green, Bob Marley, Yoko Ono and Michelle Philipps from „The Mamas & The Papas”. As a leitmotif we pose the question of actuality of the cultural achievements in which the hippies succeeded.
