The Summer of Love - The American Experience - 2007

In the summer of 1967, thousands of young people from across the country flocked to the Haight-Ashbury district of San Francisco to join in the “hippie” experience, only to discover that what they had come for was already disappearing. By 1968 their celebration of free love, music and an alternative lifestyle had descended into a maelstrom of drug abuse, broken dreams and occasional violence.
