Description:

In 1969, thirteen young mainlanders - refugees from campus riots, Vietnam War protests and police brutality - fled to Kauai. Before long this little tribe of men, women and children were arrested and sentenced to ninety days hard labor for having no money and no home. Island resident Howard Taylor, brother of actress Elizabeth, bailed out the group and invited them to camp on his vacant ocean front land.

TAYLOR CAMP reveals a community that created order without rules, rejecting materialism for the healing power of nature. We come to understand the significance Taylor Camp's eight-year existence through interviews made 30-years later after the film makers tracked down the campers, their neighbors and the government officials who finally got rid of them.
