Summer of Love

Summer of Love presents a vivid exploration of the Haight Ashbury district during the summer of 1967. It examines the utopian ideals of peace and love that initially characterized the era, contrasting them with the chaos and unsanitary conditions that emerged as widespread drug use took hold.

The documentary features insights from notable figures, including Peter Coyote and Todd Gitlin, who provide context to the events and experiences of that summer. Academy Award-nominated filmmakers Gail Dolgin and Vicente Franco delve into the social and cultural forces that led to the largest migration of young people in America’s history, making this film an important record of a unique period.
