Far Out: Life On & After the Commune tells the story of two rural New England communal farms. The film traces fifty years in the lives of a group of New England writers, activists and artists. It conveys not only how these “hippies” transformed Vermont and Western Massachusetts, but also how rural life and the people they met changed them.
