Amazon Acres — Girls' own adventure

Broadcast 
Space to play or pause, M to mute, left and right arrows to seek, up and down arrows for volume.
Swimming hole, Amazon Acres, 1974(Anne Roberts)

In the mid '70s a group of women set out on a bold experiment to build a self-sufficient, women-only community on a remote mountaintop hidden in rainforest. A female paradise complete with rainbows and tiger snakes; nudity, tensions and the healing power of song. A chance to live the dream of freedom - but what happens when not everyone is dreaming the same dream? 

Original music composed by Luna Pan.

Mountain songs produced by Greadann.
