Nice vid. The next generation - having been brought up in the cusp of
counterculture - are wised up and going places. 
Power to the Young people!

This short film is about the young people who were born into the free
festival scene that flowered and bloomed through a counterculture in 80's
Britain. From the Stonehenge free festival to the merging of the so called
'New Age Traveller's' and the underground dance scene at Castlemorton and
beyond these kids have lived a unique life of ups and downs, grown up in
freedom and felt the violent force of the state - Operation Solstice: The
Battle of the Beanfield. They have seen the negative effects of laws
tailored to curb and their lifestyle in the form of amendments to the
Public Order Act and later the new Criminal Justice Act which criminalised
their existence. This coupled with the over commercialisation of the UK
festival scene that their families dedication helped to create has left
the second generation of New Travelers kids with an uncertain future...
Until now.... Site4Life.
