The Idiocratic Life: A Documentary on Communes in America
Oakland Premiere with opening musical performance by Justine Lucas
Are utopias doomed to failure? Are Thoreau and his children Eugene V. Debs, the 60s and B.F. Skinner nothing more then the stuff of textbooks barely read in undergraduate seminars? 'The Idiocratic Life' is a stylishly shot look at the counter-culture today that attempts to answer this question by capturing the faces, stories, and inner struggles of members of communes across America. Throughout the process the film shines a light upon a part of America rarely seen in film or anywhere else and proves that far from medias spotlight there are great social experiments from Egalitarianism to Anarchy continuing to percolate and sometimes thrive.
