What to watch: Commune
A re-release of Jonathan Berman's film to mark it's 20th anniversary.
Marking the 20th anniversary of the release of the documentary, Commune, the film has been re-released and is discovering fresh audiences.
The documentary takes us inside the countercultural movement that sought to create a different path for people in the United States in the 1960s.
In Commune, rilmmaker Jonathan Berman gives us the story of Black Bear Ranch - a remote commune in the rugged wilderness of Northern California.
The residents braved brutal winters, constant negotiation over competing visions of utopia, and even the intrusion of a radical cult that threatened their very being.
Yet amid these tensions, they ultimately forged lasting contributions to society in areas like alternative health and healing, feminism, and a DIY ethic that would ripple far beyond their remote mountain valley.
“We are thrilled to bring Commune back to the big screen..." said Jonathan Berman. “This restoration is not only a look back but also an invitation to imagine the possibilities of collective living today, especially given our current political landscape.”
Commune is distributed by First Run Features and Upstate Films
