Born Dropped Out: 12 Questions For Hippie Kids. A Documentary on the Children Of 1960s/1970s Hippies

A documentary from a 2008 thesis project at New York University's Interactive Telecommunications Program (ITP).

I'd love to do a much higher resolution version with more subjects. If you're a child of hippies from the 1960s and 1970s, and are interested in being interviewed, I'm ready to do another version of this video! Contact: calebjohnclark@gmail.com

Here's the background of this project.

I interviewed several children of hippies in 2008 and made an experimental interactive web-based interface to watch the interviews by time, question, or subject. Later I edited this video together as a documentary.

The kids of hippies are a fascinating subject to me, and not just because I am one. I believe they are a rare window into the results of an informal experiment in alternative child rearing.

Here's my thesis intro.

The Hippies of the 60s and 70s created a social revolution that impacted everything from recycling to relationships, from tofu to what was taboo. They made their mark from the halls of justice to the Halloween costumes you can buy for your kid ironically, at your local drug store. Many hippies were weekend hippies who wore the costume and went back to work on Monday.

A few hippies however totally changed their lives and dropped out of normal society altogether.

Some of these hippies then had kids.

These kids were not hippies like their parents. They did not decide to drop out. They were born dropped out.

In 2008 six of these children of hippies, now in their 30s and 40s, were tracked down and asked to answer the same set of questions while recording themselves using a webcam. Several were also recorded by Caleb Clark in New York City.

The interviews are from an experiment in new interfaces for documentary video as part of a 2008 Masters Thesis at the Interactive Telecommunications Program at New York University's Tisch School of the Arts, also by Caleb Clark.

I'm an older achy dad living with my wife and two young kids in the state of Vermont, in the USA. I focus on sharing product reviews and experiences as we strive to live a simple lifestyle below our means. But we are also both technology and eco-friendly. We're focused on healthy food, education, community, and sustainable living practices, with an eye for responsible retirement.

~ We use some iOS and educational Web games, and want to find more that are fun, but also actually educational with no ads or in app purchases unless requested.
~ For family time we like garden/yard hanging out at home around a fire pit time. We have a tiny used sailboat for lakes, and we like to rent paddleboards/canoes/kayaks. We hike, bike, and go to the ocean in southern Maine, where i grew up, whenever we can afford it.
