The Summer of Love-How Hippies Changed the World Series 1
The untold story of how a German cult, pioneering psychologists and secret LSD experiments sparked a gathering of hippie tribes in 1967 San Francisco that would change the world.
Part 1 The Making of a Hippy
The first episode looks at how ideas, music and lifestyles from Asia, Europe and the American Left became entwined in California. It traces the roots of the hippies back to a 19th-century German sect of wandering naturalists called Lebensreform. Add to this mix a wonder drug first developed by the CIA called LSD and a wave of student activists and anti-war protestors agitating for revolution and you have the astonishing story how these forces came together to give birth to the Summer of Love in San Francisco, 1967.
