The Commune

In all candor, I sneered as I added The Commune to my Netflix queue, and expected to sneer as I watched. And indeed, I did sneer a bit at the beginning, but as I heard the stories and pondered the implications of Black Bear Ranch, my respect for these courageous souls grew. Here is life in all its chaos and splendor, but here, too, is an attempt to live as freeborn people in a way that honors personal intent as well as collective responsibility.
