THE SOURCE FAMILY DOCUMENTARY
PREMIERING IN DISTRIBUTION & SOURCE FAMILY EVENTS INFORMATION BELOW It’s 1971 . . . communes and new religions are on the rise. The Source Family are an "Aquarian tribe," a secretive but outlandish group of 140 beautiful young people who stroll Los Angeles in colorful robes (the men), devotees of “Father Yod,” a controversial restaurateur-turned-spiritual leader with fourteen wives and his own psychedelic rock band. The Family lives in a mansion and operates the popular Source Restaurant on the Sunset Strip, serving vegetarian cuisine to musicians and movie stars, pioneering a national trend. The Source Family was a radical experiment in '70s utopian living. Their popular restaurant, rock band,and beautiful women made them the darlings of Hollywood; but their outsider ideals led to their dramatic undoing. Their radical lifestyle set the authorities' hair on fire and their demise was dramatic and painful. But Father Yod’s profound Spirit lives on - in his teachings, his music and his children !
THE TOUCHING AND POWERFUL FILM "THE SOURCE FAMILY" THE SOURCE provides an intimate, insightful and compelling look at this mind-blowing group of people with archival photos, movies, audio recordings, and interviews with members of the family. Serving as a highly personal, insider’s guide to the counter-culture movement of the early70’s, the film is inspired by the immensely popular book The Source: The Story of Father Yod, Ya Ho Wa 13, and The Source Family (Process Media) which was written by Isis Aquarian and Electricity Aquarian and edited by director Jodi Wille.Jodi Wille and Maria Demopoulos are directors and producers of THE SOURCE,which is produced by Holly Becker and Amaryllis Knight. Executive Producers are Braxton Pope, Michael DeLuise, and TriCal Entertainment. Co-Producers are Adam Parfrey and John Tanzer. Isis Aquarian is Associate Producer. John Tanzer is the Cinematographer and editing is by Jen Harrington and Claire Didier. All music in the film is original period music written and produced by members of The Source Family. THE SOURCE DOCUMENTARY IS LOOSELY BASED UPON THE BOOK THE SOURCE ~ The Untold Story of Father Yod, YAHOWHA 13 and The Source Family BY ISIS AQUARIAN AND E AQUARIAN, EDITED BY JODI WILLE
