The Human Be-In gathering at San Francisco's Golden Gate Park took place January 14, 1967. Allen Ginsberg & Timothy Leary showed up along with thousands of sympathizers. I was a student at UC, Berkeley at the time, and filmed this using my dad's regular 8mm silent film camera.There was great hope (in 1967) that peaceful hearts would change the world. It did - sort of. But not nearly enough and with many unintended consequences. This is the complete, unedited roll of film, transferred to VHS in the 1980's, and digitized in 2009. There have been inquiries regarding the availability of the original film. It still exists - safely tucked away in a fireproof safe. I hope to digitize it with enhanced definition at some point in the future.
