I had friends who lived at The Farm, and I wanted to go there myself back in the 70s, but never could, for various reasons. This documentary confirmed what I already knew; TheFarm created a highly functional community. They had infrastructure (they were totally self-sufficient at one point). They had moral codes. They had a functional economy. They had a spiritual life. It was true social utopia, and I suspect the reason it fell into a capitalist model is because the young people left. Beautiful film. I've always wondered what happened to the kids who were born there.
