In 1970, 1,500 hippies and their guru Stephen Gaskin founded a commune in rural Tennessee. Members forked over their savings, grew their own food, delivered their babies at home and built a self-sufficient society. Raised in this alternative community by a Jewish mother from Beverly Hills and a Puerto Rican father from the Bronx, f[ZiYuantun.Com]ilmmakers and sisters Rena and Nadine return for the first time since leaving in 1985. Finally ready to face the past after years of hiding their upbringing, they chart the rise and fall of America's largest utopian socialist experiment and their own family tree. The nascent idealism of a community destroyed, in part, by its own success is reflected in the personal story of a family unit split apart by differences. American Commune finds inspiration in failure, humor in deprivation and, most surprisingly, that communal values are alive and well in the next generation. 译文(3): 1970年，1500名嬉皮士和他们的导师斯蒂芬·加斯金在田纳西州农村建立了一个公{资源屯-ziyuantun.com}。成员们拿出积蓄，自己种植食物，在家分娩，建立了一个自给自足的社会。在这个另类社区长大的是一位来自比佛利山庄的犹太母亲和一位来自布朗克斯的波多黎各父亲，电影制作人和姐妹Rena和Nadine自1985年离开后首次回归。在隐藏了多年的成长经历后，他们终于准备好面对过去，描绘了美国最大的乌托邦社会主义实验的兴衰和他们自己的家谱。一个社区的新生理想主义在一定程度上被其自身的成功所摧毁，这反映在一个因差异而分裂的家庭单元的个人故事中。美国公社在失败中找到灵感，在匮乏中找到幽默，最令人惊讶的是，社区价值观在下一代中依然存在。
