We Love You

We Love You is about an annual coming together of like-minded people who believe they can change the world. No, it isn’t the story of Mountainfilm, but rather a different tribe: the Rainbow Gathering. Each summer since 1972, tens of thousands of people have met in a national park in search of a utopia without social hierarchy, commerce or war. This short documentary chronicles the 2008 gathering at the Wind River Range in Wyoming, where people built kitchen systems from nothing to provide food for thousands. It’s not just a communal love-in, though. The police arrive, casting a dark cloud over the Rainbow that the Gathering must face in their own way. —DH
