After the film, director Jodi Wille will speak on the ethical considerations directing The Source Family, as well as the social and spiritual dynamics of the group.

The Source Family was a radical experiment in 70s utopian living. Their outlandish style, popular health food restaurant, rock band, and beautiful women made them the darlings of the Sunset Strip. But the unconventional behavior of their spiritual leader, Father Yod, instigated the authorities. Years later, former family members surface and the rock band reforms, revealing how their time with Yod shaped their lives in the most unsuspecting ways.  (Dir. Jodi Wille and Maria Demopoulos)
