In 1969, thirteen young mainlanders – refugees from campus riots, Vietnam War protests and police brutality – fled to Kauai, Hawaii. Before long this little tribe of men, women and children were arrested and sentenced to ninety days hard labor for having no money and no home.
Island resident Howard Taylor, brother of actress Elizabeth, bailed out the group and invited them to camp on his vacant ocean front land. Howard then left them on their own, without any restrictions, regulations or supervision.
Soon waves of hippies, surfers and troubled Vietnam vets found their way to this clothing-optional, pot-friendly tree house village at the end of the road on the island’s North Shore.
Although its population reached about 100, eventually, the state prevailed and succeeded in ousting the campers and incorporating the land into a state park. Today the land is back to nature, and no longer a state park. Peace and blessings to Robert Stone, the film's director.
