About the Book, which was about the making of the Movie: (from the DJ flap):

******At 11:55 A.M. on the 4th of August, 1970, a hundred and fifty members of the West Coast hip community left San Francisco aboard a caravan of buses, trucks, cars, trailers, campers, and motorcycles. They were headed for the East Coast and then England. And they had a job to do: represent a new lifestyle, one based on communal ethics, music, respect for the land, the drug experience, sexual openness, and total personal freedom. They were self-proclaimed working freaks, and their employer was Warner Bros., which wanted to make a documentary film about hippies and had hired Academy Award winning director François Reichenbach and his crew to do just that.******

About the MOVIE: (from IMDB)

******The Medicine Ball Caravan is a documentary film that was released in August 1971. Warner Bros. funded the cross-country trip with the intention of capitalizing on the success of the Woodstock documentary. It captured a massive caravan of 150 hippies, musicians (including B.B. King), and the Hog Farm commune traveling from San Francisco to D.C. The footage was shot by French director François Reichenbach, however Warner Bros. executives were not happy with it, so a young Martin Scorsese was brought in to edit the film to make it more commercial. The film was a commercial and critical flop.******
