The Source Family was a radical experiment in ’70s utopian living. Their outlandish lifestyle, popular health food restaurant, rock band, and beautiful women made them the darlings of Hollywoodʼs Sunset Strip; but their outsider ideals and spiritual leader, Father Yod, caused controversy with local authorities. Eventually, they fled to Hawaii, leading to their dramatic demise.

THE SOURCE provides an intimate and insightful look at this incredible group of people with archival photos, movies, audio recordings, and interviews with members of the family. Serving as a highly personal, insider’s guide to the counter-culture movement of the early 70’s, the film is inspired by the immensely popular book The Source: The Story of Father Yod, Ya Ho Wa 13, and The Source Family (Process Media) which was written by Isis Aquarian and Electricity Aquarian and edited by director Jodi Wille.
