Description

Pair our Toronto Sound series with this fascinating film that follows up on two iconic documentaries about the city during the turbulent year of 1967: Christopher’s Movie Matinée, which follows fourteen Toronto teenagers over the course of the summer, and Flowers on a One-way Street, which documents the conflict between hippies and the city council over the future of the Yorkville neighbourhood, then Canada's counter-culture capital. More than two decades later, the filmmakers behind The Summer of ’67 sought out some of the earlier films’ participants to discover what traces remained of their lives from the 60s.
