Back in the 60's and 70’s when the US’s involvement in Vietnam faced a backlash and the era of hippies, Woodstock and peace signs were peaking, there were people known as “Jesus freaks” who slowly and steadily made inroads into that hip cultural phenomenon, aiding in its eventual dismantling.  This film is basically about how that subculture caught the fancy of the young and the wasteful in their quest for truth.

Historically speaking the hippie subculture began its development as a youth movement in the United States during the early 1960s with its earliest antecedents traced to the Bohemians, with strong influence from Eastern religion and spirituality. But in the 60’s this cultural phenomenon was directly influenced and inspired by the Beat Generation, and American involvement in the Vietnam War.
