CBC Archives:

By the 1980s, the hippies seem to have disappeared. The acid tests are over. The flowers are dead. The communes are deserted. Where are the flower children? Where did the idealism go? In this CBC Television clip, ex-hippies Eric Clough and Carol Gaston have an answer. In the late 1960s they founded a community called "The New Family" commune in British Columbia. They had high hopes, but things didn't turn out as planned.
