"....London as a place in another country...creates distance from something that could be 'close to home'... The counter-culture documentary Dope (1968), directed by Diane Rochlin (Flame Schon) {& Sheldon Rochlin}, ... begins with a flight to London and juxtaposes the drug-hazed face of one of the documentary's subjects with the sound of the pilot announcing the aeroplane's destination. ...London is evoked as much as a state of mind as a real place."
