Produced by Chloë Sevigny and directed by lifelong Deadhead Mischa Richter, this open-hearted 16mm documentary follows a new generation of Grateful Dead fans on a freewheeling journey across America. Focusing the camera on the crowd rather than the stage, Richter finds friends between parking lots and caravans, capturing off-the-cuff reflections and moments lost in the music in a state of pure bliss.
