Parks and People : Freaks vs the Straights (1970s?)

The film explores the tensions between law enforcement and youth culture, particularly focusing on the “hippie” community in national parks. It highlights the prejudices faced by long-haired individuals, the misinterpretation of their behavior, and the challenges rangers encounter in managing diverse groups. The narrative emphasizes the need for understanding and communication between different generations, as well as the importance of respecting individual differences. It also suggests that the park facilities are not adequately designed to accommodate the social dynamics of young visitors, leading to conflicts with older generations.
