- DirectorJoseph SargentStarsSally FieldEleanor ParkerLane BradburyAfter finding out that the hippie lifestyle isn't as glamorous as the media makes it look, Dennie comes home to find disapproval and judgment at every turn, and her sister Susie wanting to follow in her footsteps.Propaganda film from the 1970s. Alot of young Americans were running away, experimenting with drugs, disobeying authority figures, etc. They hoped to make the target audience conform to more traditional lifestyles and help in the controlling of those portions of the youth population which were marked as deviant through social and legal pressures. While many youths were harming themselves through their own actions, the film has clear bias. Interestingly, I would argue that the film painted a more sympathetic picture, in some interesting ways, of those aforementioned portions of the population the films makers marked as deviant than other examples from more recent points in time as a means of not turning away youth audiences from the film and persuading them. However, one would have to more throughly compare propaganda with the same communicative aims over time to be sure.

I'm planning on revisiting it and analyzing its messages, both how they persuade and other reasons why they are there, after I finish a history book on the suburbs in America. I know more 18th and 19th century American history than 20th century American history, while still very competent at it and well read, which makes the book necessary.
