Set in the East Village in 1967, there were a group of people who celebrated life and love in the shadow of the crippling Vietnam War. Hair tells the story of a “tribe”, of politically active, long haired hippies of the “Age of Aquarius” discovering their own truths through protesting, drugs, and the rise of a sexual revolution. This hippie counterculture awkwardly but exuberantly create their own rite of passage through the confusion around them. “Transcendental meditation on the ocean of cyber reality is Love... Peace... Justice... Freedom... Tolerance... Happiness... Liberation...”
