The Untold Yippie Project

by Becca Schlossberg

Directed by Rhonda J. Soikowski

In 1970, liberal America seemed at the end of its rope. Out of the flower children and free-loving hippies that has popularized the cultural landscape, a new wave of radicals entered the scene: the Yippies. Avantgarde and arrogant, the Yippies made their anti-war, anti-capitalist sentiments well known with in your face activism. When Terry, a wild but weary leader of the Yippies, gets an idea to organize a protest in Disneyland, he’s looking for a lot more than a chance to stick it to the man; he’s looking to dig into a former friend who has betrayed him. Based on true events, this docudrama examines this day from all sides: a manager at Disneyland, guests of the park, and the rebels who led the protests, painting a picture of a both a divided and united America.
