It’s 1972, a time of social upheaval, radical fervor, and the rise of new religions and communes across the country. The Source Family considers themselves an “Aquarian tribe,” a secretive but outlandish group of 140 beautiful young people who stroll Los Angeles in colorful robes and diaphanous gowns, devotees of a controversial
Hollywood restaurateur-turned-spiritual leader who has 14 wives, drives a Rolls Royce, has hands registered as lethal weapons, fronts his own rock band, and calls himself “Father Yod.”

The film combines personal accounts with an extensive film and audio archive maintained by Isis Aquarian, one of Father Yod’s wives and a central character in the documentary. The soundtrack features original Source Family music produced from 1971-1975.

This treasure trove of artifacts allows viewers an intimate, insider’s view into the world of The Source Family as if they were experiencing it themselves and expands the scope of this film to be a comprehensive document about ’70s social experiments, progressive culture and new religious movements.
