Primarily a Rationalization for a Chosen Life

This was a good Documentary, and this Hippie / Planned Community turned out a lot better than most. Whether these residents came to their community with more funding or life skills than the other (failed) Hippie / Planned Community groups is not addressed.

To the now aging, and some recently departed, first generation, this might have been a good life choice. For their kids, not so much. While the closing credits lists the present day careers of some of the "Ranch Kids", now adults, they appear to be more like aimless drifters, unable to adapt to life outside of their childhood community, than anything else.

Perhaps their idealist / possibly narcissist parents should have remained childless or waited until their children were fully grown, prior to dropping out and doing their own thing.

Good Movie!
