"..without a dream.." from dope the movie '68
"Although drugs are prevalent throughout the film, anybody expecting to find an exploitation flick for the flower generation will be sorely disappointed. As US film trade bible Variety commented, on its screening at the Locarno film festival in 1968, Dope “is not just another look at the so-called drug, or hippie scene…(it is) a rugged documentary with revealing insights into the sad, touching, downbeat sometimes tender drug scene”. Shindig Magazine Jan'09
It was and still is subversive...most people though can't pull themselves together enough to give it the attention and focus that it demands from the audience and thus can't even know that it is subversive. Well, it has been and shall remain "underground" where it belongs, because if it were to suddenly become mainstream it would lose its force perhaps..same for us all.
