A group of Vermont filmmakers have made a history of Vermont in (I think) six parts. It is well worth seeing, though so far, I have only seen Part 3, about odd people and big change (such as the Interastat) to Vermont, and about communes and communities .... and Quarry Hill, a part of the story.
I am in the film, giving what I recall as about a five hour interview... and Barbara, my mother, co-founder of QH, and artist, being very funny and inviting the filmmaker, Nora Jacobson, to vome live at Quarry Hill.
Many younger people from QH also speak in the movie, Jason, Carrie, Jill, Eva, etc.
In any case, not just because of QH, but because of fascinating stories like that of a woman named Shoshonna, heroine of the hippie underground who did not harm anyone with the Weathermen, but was being sought by the FBI in those days-- and had Packer Corners commune offer to sell their land to get her out of Riker's Island.... I recommend seeing this film.
I look forward to seeing the other parts!
