Coming to VOD tomorrow, Tuesday, December 2: AMERICAN COMMUNE
Rena Mundo Croshere and Nadine Mundo’s personal reflection on their unorthodox upbringing debuted at Hot Docs last year. Its fest circuit also included DOC NYC, New Orleans, San Francisco Jewish, Woodstock, and the Rocky Mountain Women’s Film Festival, among others. The doc now comes to VOD platforms including Amazon, Google Play, Xbox, and VUDU.
I previously wrote about the film for DOC NYC’s program, saying:
In 1970, a countercultural caravan left San Francisco to return to nature, ultimately landing in rural Tennessee and establishing The Farm under the guidance of guru Stephen Gaskin. Filmmaker siblings Rena Mundo Croshere and Nadine Mundo were born there, the children of the rocky union between a Beverly Hills Jewish woman and a Bronx-born Puerto Rican. Decades after they departed – part of a larger exodus – the sisters return, offering their perspectives on the would-be utopian community they once called home.

Thanks for the writeup, Basil!
