Watch Trailer
2016 · 105 min Documentary
6.6 / 10 · TMDB

The never-before-told story of the Brotherhood of Eternal Love – a spiritual group of surfers and hippies in Southern California that became the largest suppliers of psychedelic drugs in the world during the 1960s and early 1970s. Bonded by their dreams to fight social injustice and spread peace, this unlikely band of free-spirited idealists quickly transformed into a drug-smuggling empire and at the same time inadvertently invented the modern illegal drug trade. At the head of the Brotherhood, and the heart of this story, is the anti-capitalistic husband and wife team, who made it their mission to change the world through LSD.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

William Kirk's documentary constructs a nuanced portrait of an era, refusing to offer easy judgments. By giving former Brotherhood members the floor, it invites viewers to grapple with the moral complexities of their journey from idealism to empire.

What lingers after the credits roll is a potent mix of nostalgia and sober reflection on how the quest for spiritual revolution can become entangled with the very systems it sought to dismantle. — MovieFinder Editorial
