An American Hippie in Israel is a statement on hippie culture gone terribly wrong. We join Mike the hippie as he steps off a plane in Israel. He’s here because he’s fed up. Fed up with America. Fed up with popular culture. Fed up with THE WORLD, man! He’s been to Vietnam. He knows all about the violence men can carry out. That’s why he’s here—in Israel. This is where he’s going to create utopia: a place where you don’t have to wear clothes if you don’t want to, and rules don’t mean anything either—a place where you can be free to be a hippie with no hassles. But then of course things don’t turn out as planned, and that’s no thanks to THE MAN that seems to foil his every move. An unprecedented triumph in super strange and extremely funny and entertaining cinema, An American Hippie in Israel is a long lost treasure of the wonderfully bizarre that must be seen by all!
