Far Out: life on & after the commune traces fifty years in the lives of a group of radical journalists, writers, and artists who left New York City in 1968 to found two rural communes in Vermont and Western Massachusetts. What began as an experiment in communal living and organic farming became a catalyst for the back-to-the-land and anti-nuclear movements.

From the fields of Guilford and Montague to the front lines of the “No Nukes” protests, the film reveals how these idealists not only helped transform rural New England, but were, in turn, transformed by it.
