In keeping with other local celebrations of the 50 year anniversary, our film this month is a slice of San Francisco history focusing on the Haight-Ashbury district. The film is from the PBS American Experience series and offers an historical perspective of a human phenomenon that some of us may have experienced to some degree.

Summer of Love

The Summer of Love is remembered today through a haze of nostalgia, hind sight and hype. In the PBS American Experience film Summer of Love producers Gail Dolgin and Vicente Franco offer a different and complex portrait of events that made the Summer of Love, which many consider a major movement of the 1960’s Counter Culture.
Through interviews with a broad range of individuals who lived through that Summer, we examine and get a first hand look at the social and cultural forces that sparked the largest migration of young people in America’s history.
As usual, popcorn and other refreshments will also be available.
