Olompali: A Hippie Odyssey - with filmmakers

DocLands Encore!

In the late 1960s, wealthy businessman Don McCoy dropped out and started a commune at an estate in northern Marin called Rancho Olompali.

But McCoy’s dream of a utopian society was short-lived, and Olompali’s blissful first year was followed by a series of shocking tragedies that threaten its very existence.

Narrated by Peter Coyote, this riveting true story explores the concept of the hippie ideal and its impact on American culture.
