Watch The Source Family Movie Online No Survey It's 1971 and 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, 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 a popular restaurant on the Sunset Strip, serving vegetarian cuisine to musicians and movie stars, pioneering a national trend. But their radical lifestyle instigates the authorities. Their demise is dramatic and painful, but Yod's spirit lives on. Release Date The Source Family May 10, 2013 Limited | |

Review For The Source Family |
[An] artfully executed and engrossing documentary ... Peter Keough-Boston Globe
Baker's transformation from "spiritual father" to megalomaniac follows a familiar path of brainwashing and hedonism ... Glenn Whipp-Los Angeles Times
While the movie isn't up to much more than illustrating how far his reach extends (two of the commune members live in Yelm, Thurston County), it's a very agreeable entertainment. John Hartl-Seattle Times
Maria Demopoulos and Jodi Wille's disturbing film is an object lesson in psychological manipulation. Jeannette Catsoulis-New York Times
Baker's cult was both progressive and decadent, and its story makes for a juicy saga-even if directors Maria Demopoulos and Jodi While reduce the collective's rise and fall to a mere talking-heads testimonial. Michael Atkinson-Time Out New York
With some focus and critical perspective, The Source Family might have documented more than a spectacle of its time. Michelle Orange-Village Voice
There seem to be many missed opportunities for some excitement in a bland film. Joan Radell-Paste Magazine
Fascinating. Equally entertaining and informative. Avi Offer-NYC Movie Guru
Great stories don't always make for great documentaries, although it's easy to confuse the two. Sam Adams-AV Club
The upside of cult living? Sort of. Roger Moore-McClatchy-Tribune News Service
One of the most detailed looks at the inner workings of an American cult ever assembled. Ian Buckwalter-The Washingtonian
