American Experience Summer of Love

The infamous summer of 1967 brought thousands to San Francisco’s Haight-Ashbury district. The 1960s had blossomed into the "hippie generation" sporting free love and hard music. But in 1968, the movement began its descent from its glorified promise of peace and love into a drug-abusive society which shattered everything in its path with violence and broken dreams. 2007/color/60 min/NR/widescreen.
