Synopsis
Father Yod, also known as Jim Baker, led the Source Family in a radical experiment of communal living in 1970s Hollywood. The group, known for their unconventional beliefs and a restaurant on the Sunset Strip, attracted attention for their lifestyle and Father Yod's 13 wives. Tensions with local authorities escalated, prompting the family to relocate to Hawaii in search of peace. Archival footage, personal interviews, and music from their band, Ya Ho Wa 13, provide insight into the rise and fall of this unique community.
