  • Summary Of Immune By Jonathan Berman

    818 Words  | 4 Pages

    Commune, made by filmmaker Jonathan Berman, is a documentary about the beginnings and risings of Black Bear Ranch in 1968. The commune was created in response to the high amounts of injustice, protesting, and desire for change. Although there were many communes at the time, Black Bear Ranch was special due the large amounts of film and photographs that were taken there, in the early 70’s. In my opinion, the most important point that the director was trying to portray in the film was the reality of commune life; not the romanticized, Woodstock, granola hippy shit that most people think about when they think about the 70’s. Cedar described his first encounter with Black Bear men as not your typical Haight street hippies.
