As a kid growing up in Marin in the 70’s, one fact I can tell you is that by the time I was in 6th grade only one of my class mates and friends had parents that were still married. Not everyone that I knew attended Est seminars or the like, but enough that it wasn’t even remarked upon. People were so busy being “aware” they were actually utterly, and damagingly, self-involved.
Same! I feel like everyone's parents got divorced in 1976, when me and my friends were all 7. I did the EST training at 10 years old. And my parents spent a lot of time at Esalen. So, yep!
In the words of Bo Burnham, "Why do you rich f-ing white people insist on seeing every socio-political conflict through the myopic lens of your own self-actualization?"
Hi! Where did you grow up? I'm from Mill Valley and I loved it there but felt like ppl were not telling me everything. I dream of finding a cheap house in the Sausalito hills about once a month
@@TactileLandYTomg you just illustrated my life, except I did The Forum in my 30s in SF. Parents divorced when I was seven. Father was an Ernest Holmes follower, though he was old-school midwestern and older generation dad. California, particularly Marin, grabbed him by the gonads and brought out his most narcissistic side. Lucky us! Lol I’m fine, and you? Lol.
It’s still what you bring to an experience. It also was quiet and beautiful and creative and we didn’t have a lot of money. I swam in an apartment pool where raccoons washed their face in the morning. I made stained glass looking out on Mt. Tam while my kitty looked down on deer walking along the path. An infrequent trip to a restaurant was fantastic-creative healthy food. We bought groceries at the Canned Food place. We looked at hand made creations in little shops-just window shopping and getting inspiration. I took the free EST one day thing and bailed. I bumped into a cult and bailed. I was too cheap for both, thankfully. Bring close to San Francisco was ❤️. I’ll always be grateful for great memories. A really great book is The Serial by Acura McFadden which also was made into a movie. It’s funny and true and Cyra took some flack for being so brilliantly honest. I was so excited to get my digital copy of the book and I’ll go searching for the movie. It’s still great. Here’s to people who are loving it right now.
And then you get evicted from that $80/month room. Happened to me a couple of times. I used to find hidden camps all over Mt. Tam, little pot farms, etc. The "new age" people were kinda funny. Then I left California.
I am tempted to say you’re lying, but maybe you have a certain segment of family and friends that indulge in such things. So for you that is your truth.
@@a.cardott3928 I have no idea what those last letters you wrote are supposed to mean. What I do know is I lived in Marin County for years, and I have never seen what they are mentioning in that documentary, except with a few people here and there, just like everywhere else. They weren’t mass hot tub orgies going on, etc. Now, if they were going on in the early 70s, that’s a different story. But then again that was happening all over the bay area due to the hippie movement! Don’t try to blame that all on Marin County.
@@troyelam8978 oh no, definitely not confined to marin! but just the way the (super wacky) people interviewed SPEAK, you know, there's subtle influence of that counseling and human fulfillment scene in their speaking, i have relatives and friends from school with parents like that
As the one who happened to score this documentary, and got to know the people involved, I feel qualified to say that conclusions like the ones above are hugely overblown. Marin has always been a mix of things, but the producers did their best to sensationalize the worst of it in order to hype the show--and for that they were sanctioned by the National News Council as I recall, as well as the Marin Board of Supervisors. The good thing was that all the hubbub reportedly caused a sizable exit from Marin, and even California, which gave us Marin lifers a little more space to spread out, at least for a little while.

This documentary is about unhappy people with money from other states, who moved to Marin, exploited it's beauty and open-minded, gentle vibe, drove up real estate prices and changed the image of the county. Those of us who were raised here before that resented this stupid "documentary" that did not mention the good people who lived simple, decent lives in Marin before this shit happened.
I moved to Marin in July, 1976 from Upstate NY. My Dad lived here then. 14 months later I moved to LA. I returned here in 1989, so far to stay. I did get elements of this "Vibe" here in 1977. I've gotten it much less since returning, but some elements may live on...?
I moved to Marin from San Jose when I was one. That was, let's just say, a LONG time ago. There are all the reasons in the world (literally) that I would NEVER leave. You couldn't pay me enough. This MOCumentary was created by the most jealous of ignorant people who have never spent so much as a day in Marin, nor knew anyone from Marin before deciding to make this film. There's a whole lot of "from what I have heard" and zero facts to back any of it up. You get a MUCH more accurate representation of Marin life by reading the comments from people who have lived here all their lives. I spent a few years recently in Sonoma County and was borderline suicidal while there. Depressing! The SECOND I moved back into my Marin house, it was euphoria from that moment on. A whole new perspective and appreciation for the greatest place on Earth... Marin County.
I had what I call the good fortune of living in Marin County during my older teenage years, and then moved back for another 10 year stretch due to my job, having left again five years ago now. I have literally lived in northern, central and southern California, and outside of maybe Solvang or Laguna Beach, nothing else compares to Marin, if even they! I see this as objectively as I possibly can, I don’t think there’s another place in America that you could live that has the combination of nature, character, class, inconvenience that defines Marin County! You would literally need to go to another country to find a similar all in one destination. Anyone that doesn’t have Marin County in their top three dream places to live, could not have spent longer than a week in there. Either that or they are so ghetto, anything less than nightly house parties and low-rider side shows is boring to them. That’s why, even as someone that is nowhere near rich, hopes Marin County keeps their prices high and even elevates them! Do whatever it takes to keep riffraff out. keep their broke, ghetto, barrio, trailer asses out of there, and I am referring that to all colors!
I miss it so much. We sold out house so my mom could go to school for a year..a trip to Hawaiian and the money was gone. House on Shell road..omg worth millions now. Bought it for 20 k 1970
Born and raised here...self absorbed capital of the world. My "sperm donor" got involved in every fad that crossed his bow and we grew up without a father...even though he remained married to my mother and was sitting "right there" watching TV next to us.
Coffee's Hangar it's amazing to me that most of the world and other ethnic minorities (especially the women) see white men as less promiscuous than their ethnic counterparts (especially black men). Yet, these stories come up ALL the time. And what about the Ted Bundy's and Mansons off the 70's? Too bad for the children. I could care less what a grown man or woman does to their lives but really, too bad for the children... And those are some beautiful kids she had their in the documentary. Don't know what you got until you lose it SMH
I'm a graduate of Dominican University in Marin County. Aside from the ridiculously low price quoted in this film for a home in Marin as compared to today, I think the part about the Human Potential Movement and it's ripple effect on relationships is quite accurate. My family and I were all deeply and seriously involved in est in the early and mid-70's, and 40 years later, I had a friend who grew up in Marin as an only child, adopted by an older and highly-educated couple. She doesn't believe in ever admitting any personal fault or wrong doing (read: never apologizes); is married, but chooses not to work so that she can attend several weekly encounter group meetings in order to "better herself for others." After 4 years, I dropped her as a friend because her "inner self" workshop honesty severely lacked any glimpse of empathy or compassion for others. Obviously, hypocrites favor no particular religious or political affiliation, sexual orientation, gender, or ethnicity.
+Robby Moore i lived in bay area most my life n we refered to those as EST-HOLE cuz first they were activist n hippies then they just walked away from any responsibility for others n community. ..like cutting you out as friend if u didnt cut ur hair n become a yuppie. those poor kids broke my heart
I was born in marin,from Marin wood to the Dominican area in San Rafael, ending up in Ross. Marin is magical and even though I know longer live their, it will always be dear to my heart.
@@joes8322 I swear before I even looked at your profile picture, I knew you had to be 17 years old or less for making that ridiculous comment! You may be thinking extremely idealistic at the moment, but once your ass gets a little older and you start to see the real side of life and what steps are necessary to live a good life, your ass is going to be trying to do everything in your power to get back to Marin County and you’re not gonna give a damn about anyone else too broke to join you. Trust me on that!
I lived in Marin in 1978 and don't remember any of this. I had a 8-6 workday 5.5 days a week so that may have been a part of it. If you google life expectancy in Marin you will find that Marin has the highest life expectancy in the US (counties about 250,000) and exceeds every blue zone including Japan and Italy. They must be doing something right.
What about the highest suicide rates; having it all, so to speak, makes people miserable or something "Marin County, California has one of the highest suicide rates in the Bay Area and the highest among metropolitan counties in the state. Between 2017 and 2019, 16.2 people per 100,000 died by suicide in Marin County, which is well above the state average. However, according to Marin County, local data indicated a decrease in suicide from the previous five years, beginning in 2021.
Actually, the saddest thing of all about this is the spectacle of that Edwin Newman idiot stomping around the place in his suit and wingtips (it reminds me of that picture of Nixon walking around the beach in his Oxfords). And--amazingly--they mention a rainbow in the theme song, but the tunnel doesn't seem to have them yet!
Actually the rainbow is on the OTHER side of the tunnel! I was born there, lived there most of my life after my parents moved us away... and oh yeah, I’m actually IN this video! I’m the 14 month old baby girl featured at the end of this documentary.
Almost all the people shown in this video are non-observant Jews, including the presenter Edwin Newman. I suppose, based on this video, that the people who moved to Marin and ruined it were largely Jewish people.
I think we were one of the first Black families with a bit of money in 81’. We lived in a big house on Lincoln ave. We used to walk down to Franks mini mart and buy a bagel dog and cinnamon rolls. My best friend lived across the street. His name was Juble. I went to Coleman. San Rafael was such a fun place for a kid of any color in the early 80’’s.
Producers went in with an agenda. Looked for people and situations that fulfilled that agenda. At lot of generalities based on little or no facts. You can always find what you are looking for. Some things were going on in Marin County that were unusual at that time compared to the rest of the country, but I doubt what NBC represented reflected the community of Marin County as a whole.
I agree. When this first aired, my mother, my 14 year old sister and I lived in Marin. Our lives were totally different. My parents were divorced, but almost none of my friends' parents. My sister and did nutty things like Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts, playing childhood sports, and attend Church on Sunday. My mother was so radical, she'd serve as a volunteer usher at theatre performances in San Francisco. My Boy Scout Patrol got its picture in the local paper for winning a first aid competition.
He said $91,000. Which would come out to about $375,000 in inflation-adjusted 2021 dollars. Which would still be a steal today. You can't knock Bay Area property as a long-term investment, going up way ahead of the general inflation rate, though you'd have to be rich to buy in today.
I lived with a RE Agent in East CM in 1977. She tried to emcourage me to get in to the business. I didn't (Bummer). We had friends buying Condos for $33k and selling them 4-6 months later for $78k.
Housing was high priced in Marin even then. For comparison, I bought a two bedroom house and a two stall garage in a West Michigan town in 1976 that was move in ready. The price -- Only $4,000, paid for in cold, hard $100 bills at the closing!!!!! I sold it in 1981 for $12,000 and plowed that money into a three bedroom home on two acres and a lake (I wish I had kept the lake front house now, it is probably worth $500K or more). Back then more people managed to pay cash for their homes, now they spend $20K and have $1000 house payments even in the cheaper areas of the country!
This video is hilarious - I missed the 70s in Marin altogether! I moved to SF in the late 80s. I found my way to places like Mill Valley, Stinson Beach, Point Reyes Station, Inverness, Fairfax, etc. There's nothing better than driving the hills of Marin and Sonoma in summer weather. Then there's the food and the exquisite local produce. I am grateful I got to live in multiple North Bay locations over different periods of time. Life was good. If I won a _large_ lottery, I would certainly move back.
I'm so grateful my parents gave up so much to raise me there. It was some of the happiest (hippiest?) times of my life. Bike rides. Bonfires on the beach. Surfing perfect waves at isolated breaks where the only true locals were the seals and sharks. The Mountain. Locally sourced foods. Rock stars in the check out lines. Strong ales, local wine, cheese and fresh oysters. All of the nature, art, music and even the architecture I was exposed to there molded me into the person I am today. It's been a good life, all the sweeter for having spent time there. As you can tell, I'm quite pleased with myself. Perhaps it's the EST. ;-) I do miss it and go back often, but it's not the same as it was. Nor are we.
Where did you go to school? I remember going to friends houses man they were rich. We were so poor but had a house in Mill valley by horse hill. I didn't like it when the East Coast moved in
"$91,000!" But, anyway... This documentary (mockumentary?) hasn't aged well, but then, neither have the 1970s. We lived in Mill Valley during this time. I remember we watched this when it aired on TV and we spent most of the time laughing and poking fun, and occasionally recognizing a favorite place or street corner. They concentrated on a relatively small area of the county, in the southeast near 101. The further north and west you went, the less of this silliness you would encounter. Still-- we did know some people who were just like this. Everyone over 30 seemed to be divorced. A neighbor blew all her money-- everything-- on "est" seminars, then demanded her tenants fork over three months' rent in advance, then blew THAT. A dear friend-- affluent, intelligent, attractive, and desperately sad-- committed suicide. I dated a lady who worked at the famous (infamous?) Physical Therapy Center up near the Sweetwater. Some of the clients there were monumentally self-absorbed, and every night they went from the spa and the exercise room right to the bar next door. Cyra came to one of my band's shows, a fun and funny lady, her book was serialized in a local paper and we cracked up over every installment. I haven't set foot in Marin since 1999, but the memories are there.
Thanks for posting. I went to Marin County once for lunch around 1982 when I was about 20 years old. I sat in the outdoor dining area overlooking the bayfront in a beautiful garden. Food was great but I kept looking over my shoulder and wondering what was wrong with this place. I was very uneasy which is rare for me. After seeing this video I now get it. The whole "look" of the area was awesome but lots of destruction behind closed doors.
I agree I lived there as a kid from 2-18. It was a great place to grow up. But as an adult I actually moved back and left after a few bc it became too insular for me. It was a bunch of myself everywhere and it freaked me tf out. I was 5 in 78 and we lived in Tiburon then larkspur canyon. Very good memories.
My mother abandoned myself and my sibling for Marin Co., a thousand miles from us. She took all that "kids can raise themselves" crap to heart. Died young, broke and sick. Watching this from the exact year she left to "find herself" in the exact place she thought she'd be found explains a lot. All the people finding beauty in this area and it's "lifestyle" are missing the problem with the rampant narcissism and thinking it's all groovy. Free range children tend to disagree. My heart sank watching the kids who's mother decided they weren't "her responsibility" just because she felt like it.
@@Nonamebabe95 It apparently was also the experience of the children in the documentary. I am sure there are lots of wonderful mothers everywhere, but Marin Co. in the 70s was not one of those places that was chock full of them. First hand knowledge. If you don't agree, try watching the entire documentary again.
The only thing worse than the few hucksters who have wasted peoples time and money in Marin are the sad comments below from hateful people who apparently can't get over the fact they were never invited to any of these parties. Keep going to church. The Mall. The bar. You live your lives huh?
Just watched a documentary released in late 2020 on HBO called "Baby God" about a fertility doctor who impregnated women, not with their husband's or partner's sperm, but with his own. Something about Brad Gulko, the boy in the "successfully divorced" family, struck me. He didn't look like either parent and seemed so resigned and depressed about his families situation. In "Baby God" doc, one of the subjects is a 'Brad Gulko' now a PhD geneticist, born in 1966, so would have been 12 in 1978 and who at 54, now looks exactly like his biological father the fertility doc vs the bearded, self-centered free love/open marriage guy. Anyway, a sad coincidence to have seen both of these docs in the course of the last couple of months. Hope Brad Gulko made a happy life for himself.
After I watched this a while back and last year came across the baby god doc.. the same thing occurred to me. It’s just upsetting that evil man got away with what he did and died an old man not guilty of any crimes but he did impregnate his own stepdaughter the man must of been a npd nutjob
The best scene was the pharmacist talking about the high shrink to population ratio and all the scripts they wrote for psych meds. Tells you all you need to know.
+Lindsay TM they called it the golden ghetto but Marin City where Tupac live was accross freeway from FRANK LOYD WRIGHT CIVIC CENTER AND JAIL where ANGELA DAVIS had her mock trail that found her innocent of trumped up police action. . as if rasicm didnt exist as if poverty didnt exist. ironic n sad. me me me! they never noticed the police state!
+Yara Mery , Marin City was 10 miles south of The County HQ and jail. Other side of freeway, yes. Lived in Tam Valley and Sausalito for 12 years, and sold at the Marin City fleas market. This documentary totally missed those of us who were the workers, teachers, the middle class. The intro by the person who posted this totally sucks.
havent made it to middle class yet. but some of us had some good times back then even if we were poor n 'outcasts' fearing the cops would throw us in jail for a roach in ashtray. thx for response...
Marin City is NOT across the freeway from the Civic Center!!! They are ten miles apart. I have lived here most all of my life and it is fairly obvious you have never been here (or paid attention to where things are)... Geez...
@@a.cardott3928 I didn't mess with weed back then but I sure had some gas guzzlers. I had a 1967 Imperial and a 1969 Ford F-250 at the time of this being filmed (I should note that I am not in the documentary, I did not live in California at the time and do not now). They got about 10-12 miles to the gallon on the highway. Gas was about 45 cents per gallon so I really didn't give a (expletive).
As a former Marinite, this film is disappointing. My memories are not of open marriage and the self absorbed, but of open mindedness, interest in learning, liberalism, ecology awareness and caring for the environment. I would have loved to have stayed there, had I been able to afford it. I just about fell over when I heard that the average price for a house in Marin is 91K!
+Linda Osborne Even adjusting for inflation, that's $330K in 2015 money. Good luck finding anything in Marin, or practically anywhere else in the Bay Area for that price now!
+Peter Werner The closest I think I can get to Marin (besides Vallejo) is Lake Co. Stuck in Utah right now but hope to make it back to California next year.
+Linda Osborne lake co. is now meth capital...please dont move there...sonoma co. taken over by WINE INDUSTRY stealing water from citizens...mendo county might have chance. humbo over taken by police state...del norte co. home of worst prison in US...no where to run except maybe HALF MOON BAY south of SF or YREKA in NE corner near or border....california is sad place right now. nothing for sale in marin unless ur Billionaire...
+Yara Mery - Thanks for your input. I was in Lake County this year and the drug areas seem to be mostly in Clearlake. There are many other areas that don't appear littered with druggies like Kelseyville and parts of Finley. Also Lucerne looked nice. I can't afford to be anywhere closer and don't want to live north of Lake Co.
This is absolutely NOT an accurate depiction of everyone in Marin. Missed a whole ton of people. Lived there 1974 -1986. As a student at UC Berkeley, during the 1960's, I hiked all over the place and made bonfires on the beaches of Pt Reyes. I made my living doing yachting and aerial photography, and teaching in public schools.
I can't say what part of the discovery of the old film footage of life in Marin was most revealing, perhaps it was talk of the book The Serial. Or, it could have been that I had desired to live the lifestyle promoted in the human potential movement as a young women in Michigan, not knowing that it had the human potential of becoming so self-indulgent (i.e.narcissistic).
Not an accurate representation of the real Marin, but it was interesting to go back in time - the 70s streets, the clothes and haircuts and semantics, thanks for posting this (e.s.t. Lmao! 😂 primal screaming, rolfing, open marriages, the advent of sushi and macrobiotic diets - fun to remember🌼)
That lady with the white hair pissed me off! That is some selfish ish right there! It's like you move away to neglect your kids feelings. I mean I understand to have your own time, but don't be all like, "I don't care about my kids anymore because Iistened to this "Guru"!"
Fred Mitouer was one of my teachers in middle school! A lot of this stuff is true but perhaps overdrawn for dramatic effect. But true too much money, too many drugs, and too many kids without adult supervision made Mill Valley a weird place to grow up. Wonderful but also weird.
the divorce rate got lower because its too expensive to move out and live alone now, this place is the exact same as this movie describes to this day. I grew up and go to college here, take it from a local.
Almost all the people shown in this video are non-observant Jews, including the presenter Edwin Newman. I suppose, based on this video, that the people who moved to Marin and ruined it were largely Jewish people.
I lived in Marin at that time with the lovely woman who gave the show its title. I think the New York elite cynics who conned a lot of us into opening up and trusting them portrayed Marin badly. It wasn 't Paradise, nor was it purgatory. It was a generous, experimental, convention defying place open to new ideas and ways of living. Wealth brings its own cache of problems. The Serial was a book and movie that tipped Newman off. He had a negative take. Some didn't fit and suffered. Some did and prospered. Those were heady times. Newman was an ill suited anthropologist trying to squash a privileged group into an average sieve. Apples and oranges. Yes...too much emphasis on self, but that's where experience starts. Know thyself and know the world. Unfortunately some stop at the "thyself" part. Santa Barbara was a SoCal equivalent in terms of self inquiry, but much less generous. Reaching one's human potential is the beginning of society achieving its own. I left...and am glad. No regrets. Sadly, my friend Kathy Burke is not close to all her children although she loves them and was far more daily attentive to them and responsible and loving than the program showed. The divorce and struggle for balance cut into future relationships. I too no longer see Kathy.
Thank you for your fantastic comment. I was born 7 years after this documentary, but made my way to California in my late teens with a growing fascination for its history as a place of pilgrimage for seekers - once thought of as a new Eden. I study the history of its counter cultural movements and it’s unique position as the seat of the human potential movement. Yes, it faltered and has its shortcomings but I wholly agree with you that transformation all begins with knowing yourself, and exploring all your potentials. It became en vogue in the 80s and onward to be snide and cynical towards the decades of searching that began in the 60s, which saddens me. I now study transpersonal and integral psychology at the California Institute of Integral Studies and hope that my work can embody some of the spirit you describe, with the privilege of a rear view mirror view of its shortcomings and pitfalls. Again, thank you for the comment.
Lord hear our prayers. The best part of being in Marin for decades is that we have God all around us although Satan keeps trying to take us over unable to do.
@1:28 The theme song, "End of the Rainbow" is written and performed by none other than Rita Abrams, better known for the saccharine-sweet "Mill Valley" song that performed with her 3rd grade class a few years earlier. Sounds like she got a bit more jaded as the '70s wore on.
@@germpore It is true that Rita was priced out of Marin. Now if you can't cough up $1 million or more you aren't going to be buying a home in Marin County! Rents are $4K per month or more unless you want to live in Marin City.
@@mharris5047 As a matter of fact, I did live in Marin City, and it's not at all a bad place to live. Home prices are now approaching a million there too. I sold my place there a few years ago, in spite of it being a good investment, as the cost of upkeep was simply outstripping my income, and I could no longer afford to just sit on this pricey property that I could get some needed cash from. So now I'm out of Marin for good too.
Almost all the people shown in this video are non-observant Jews, including the presenter Edwin Newman. And add Abrams to the list. I suppose, based on this video, that the people who moved to Marin and ruined it were largely Jewish people.
I am sure many people have died from that combination. One person I know called that "dying like a rock star"! Alcohol and benzodiazepines don't mix well and 999/1000 doctors do NOT recommend it.
There are 256,000 people in Marin county in 2024. That is 40,000 more than the video stated in the beginning of it. And yes, Marin is I think the second ‘oldest’ county in the nation, so fewer children.
Did you all miss the part where all those people interviewed were not even Marin natives? Beginning in 1970, people from Chicago, New York, New Jersey, and LA, as well as from farther abroad, Iran, and the UAE: Dubai, Abu Dhabi, etc., (oil boom) arrived en masse and took over the county. It was a case of follow the money... and they all came running, and took over. Cyra McFadden, another non-native from Montana, who wrote the satirical column (and novel) called The Serial, in 1977, was largely responsible for promulgating much of this narcissism. And people believed it. A case of life imitating art. The entire mocumentary was centered around one small community area: Mill Valley and Belvedere; not the rest of Marin, which is the best of Marin. Who were all those people interviewed? Not native Marinites, that's for sure.
Just like liberal assholes from back east took over this state. All the liberal assholes in the country deserve the liberal asshole natives from Marin and the rest of California. It has turned this state into a political shithole.
I concur with your assessment Mo V Hurley: "The rest of Marin is the Best of Marin" (WEST MARIN!) Like you I was raised in Marin. Graduated from Drake High in 1970. I moved to SF in 1973. I'm still here but probably will leave the area once I retire next year. To think Cyra McFadden is in her 80s
@@ADAMSIXTIES I did was a guest at an evening with Werner at a mansion on Franklin St. in the 1980s. Had a hard time keeping a straight face. The one takeaway being my first experience with Sambucca! Radical
This documentary is sort of laughable! Where are all these hot tub/dragon sex parties? I sure couldn’t find them when I lived in Marin and I live there for years! It was borderline boring, but in a good way. I guess a better word would be peaceful. I’m sure they were hot tub party somewhere, but my ass wasn’t invited to them. LOL. And they certainly weren’t heavily advertised!
Funny …like the people in this documentary and agree with the ideas like “want something have to stop chasing and do it yourself” but perhaps today is the opposite of that
@12:50 that’s flawed data. Less than 10% of the suicides were people from Marin County. People, especially back then, traveled from far & wide to commit suicide off the Golden Gate Bridge. Of the local people most were from San Francisco or further south on the peninsula to San Jose. Also wealthy conservatives do the exact same things as the people in this video they are just very secretive about it. I’ve lived & worked in substance abuse counseling in Florida Georgia Texas & Indiana where most of the older patients were Republicans & the young patients were Democrat children of Republican parents. The only real difference between them was the substances of choice tended to be different ie Alcohol & cocaine was a 70-30 split towards conservative while heroin was 70-30 liberal (these numbers represent data from the majority middle to upper middle class white people who sought treatment where I worked. Minorities were also patients but on a far lesser scale -they tended to seek treatment in urban centers).
You said it. When I went to COM back in the late 1960s, you could stroll across College Avenue or Sir Francis Drake Blvd to get to the campus. Now, it's all light-controlled but you feel like you're risking your life. I blame this "documentary" or whatever it was for bringing in the Yuppies in the 1970s, mostly from the East Coast and Midwest. Spoiled the serenity and unpretentiousness of Marin County.
It's so sad that you might have to wait for a light to cross the street. Clearly this is the fault of this documentary and, of course, illegal aliens. /s
It kills me how people defend illegal aliens, as if totally blind to the negative affects. However, if you were to present them the same logic people used to defend illegal aliens, to defend a bunch of poor black people sneaking their way into a bank, so they could feed their families, afford better schooling for their defenseless kids, who had no choice, and afford a better place to live, there would be no such sympathies! Yet I challenge you to tell me what the difference is.

Sad and funny ...wow how sooooooooooooooooo self absorbed people are now in 2018 . All 50 states ....of America. I do believe and still have faith in people .
Those of us who lived here at the time of its airing knew it was a cheap, misleading, and dishonest film that was made to get ratings with little regard for representing a place. It's an LA film of what they think people want to see about a place they've never visited and would like to put down because it has such natural beauty.
Thank you. This film is complete garbage, invented to make news. It has nothing to do with Marin at all. I have lived here since 1952 and it is a wonderful place!
RyGil91 It's a bullshit doc. These people aren't even native Californians. Not a true depiction at all, the producers obviously worked hard to find the most obnoxious, controversial people available.
Dude, are you angry or what?!....... "Each story in this film is an accurate depiction of everyone in Marin and does not deviate from any Marinite's experience, without exception." Nothing is absolute & I am 5th generation Marinite and this represents only the 70's & not all people's experience. Even a couple things are misrepresented and much is certainly not explained with maturity & an understanding of the world's bigger picture that we have now. Don't get me wrong, I hated the 70's in Marin, but it was a necessary step for all .
Almost all the people shown in this video are non-observant Jews, including the presenter Edwin Newman. I suppose, based on this video, that the people who moved to Marin and ruined it were largely Jewish people.
I’m actually in this video as one of the children, and they got it ALL WRONG!!! I stumbled upon this accidentally, and am dumbfounded as to how this wound up on TH-cam and by what means was this footage obtained? I would really appreciated some additional information from the person who posted this please!!!
Do you agree with me that most of the people in this documentary appear to be non-observant Jews? Even the presenter, Edwin Newman, is Jewish. It's almost as if Newman ignored the gentiles in Marin to focus solely on Jewish people, but without announcing this to the audience.
well I guess thats how all these none Americans got all the jobs now. while many its r homeless now....times have changed...I wonder what these ppl think now...
I'd like to add that I noticed the people being interviewed have a lot of negativity and aggression toward people they don't know. Perhaps they could use a few therapy sessions or a massage or two. Everything they say that is negative about Marinites, is based on their own distorted and negative views and false assumptions of other people's lifestyles and motivations. These are people who are unhappy with themselves and need to drag others down to their level. Sad. In fact, this entire "documentary" is focusing on nothing but negativity. Attempting to drag happy, well-off people down to their depressed level. That is a futile attempt.

by today's standards this all seems pretty benign... I was 5th Gen SF, 3rd gen Marinite until I got so sick and tired of the ultra radical, socialist left destroying what was once a fairly moderate and conservative leaning environment, I moved out of state. There was always a modest liberal influence however it was balanced with the generationally ingrained conservative conscience. All this was destroying 50 years ago this summer by a bunch of immature, irresponsible, mommy/daddy issues laden socialist/communists that thought their drug laden, perverted, STD/LSD "I celebrate my unwillingness to take ANY responsibility for my life" lifestyle was good for everyone. Unfortunately, the pendulum has never swung back to a moderate, more adult center. My story isn't unique. Many of the "old" families left for the exact same reason. It's my opinion that Marin is not and will never again be the paradise it once was. Just as the state as a whole is a failed experiment socially and financially, Marin is a failed experiment in ultra socialism and utopian communism. Just look at the property values as an example of failed policies. The average price of a home in marin is now $1 million dollars. Where's your utopian, everyone is entitled solution there? Fail.
W W The most important place in California is still pretty conservative: the home. People, out of necessity, are more liberal and "tolerant" on the street but when you're having dinner at home with your children, parents are teaching them certain values. That is why in SF politicians, many end up in Marin and sending their kids to private schools, not racially integrated public schools. So, what has happened is that many counties have remained white (Marin, Humboldt, Sonoma, etc) and some have become more middle-income and diverse (Alameda, Contra Costa, San Mateo). While those at the bottom of the barrel, or totem pole if you will, end up in Stockton, Sacramento, Fresno, or even out of state like Texas...
I have no idea how you'd view view the excesses of wealthy hedonistic individualism and call it a problem of "socialism". I suggest you look up what that actually is. You might vehemently disagree with it, but I guarantee, it's definition is not "everything I find bad".
@@germpore I know 3 diehard socialists that moved to Marin County who can't ever shut up about how thay are "low income" just so they could obtain more welfare $. One "volunteers" a few hours a week looking at public park shrubs and trails and get paid a full salary by the county. The county pays for most of her housing and even some food. And all three are very critical about how non-socially conscious Marinites are. I think that is what the poster was talking about. There are a lot of poor socialists in Marin - they go there for more of the "people's " $.

As a kid growing up in Marin in the 70’s, one fact I can tell you is that by the time I was in 6th grade only one of my class mates and friends had parents that were still married. Not everyone that I knew attended Est seminars or the like, but enough that it wasn’t even remarked upon. People were so busy being “aware” they were actually utterly, and damagingly, self-involved.
Same! I feel like everyone's parents got divorced in 1976, when me and my friends were all 7. I did the EST training at 10 years old. And my parents spent a lot of time at Esalen. So, yep!
In the words of Bo Burnham, "Why do you rich f-ing white people insist on seeing every socio-political conflict through the myopic lens of your own self-actualization?"
Hi! Where did you grow up? I'm from Mill Valley and I loved it there but felt like ppl were not telling me everything. I dream of finding a cheap house in the Sausalito hills about once a month
@@TactileLandYTomg you just illustrated my life, except I did The Forum in my 30s in SF. Parents divorced when I was seven. Father was an Ernest Holmes follower, though he was old-school midwestern and older generation dad. California, particularly Marin, grabbed him by the gonads and brought out his most narcissistic side. Lucky us! Lol I’m fine, and you? Lol.
It’s still what you bring to an experience. It also was quiet and beautiful and creative and we didn’t have a lot of money. I swam in an apartment pool where raccoons washed their face in the morning. I made stained glass looking out on Mt. Tam while my kitty looked down on deer walking along the path. An infrequent trip to a restaurant was fantastic-creative healthy food. We bought groceries at the Canned Food place. We looked at hand made creations in little shops-just window shopping and getting inspiration. I took the free EST one day thing and bailed. I bumped into a cult and bailed. I was too cheap for both, thankfully. Bring close to San Francisco was ❤️. I’ll always be grateful for great memories. A really great book is The Serial by Acura McFadden which also was made into a movie. It’s funny and true and Cyra took some flack for being so brilliantly honest. I was so excited to get my digital copy of the book and I’ll go searching for the movie. It’s still great. Here’s to people who are loving it right now.
And then you get evicted from that $80/month room. Happened to me a couple of times. I used to find hidden camps all over Mt. Tam, little pot farms, etc. The "new age" people were kinda funny. Then I left California.
As a native of Marin County I can confirm the veracity of every claim made in this video.
I am tempted to say you’re lying, but maybe you have a certain segment of family and friends that indulge in such things. So for you that is your truth.
@@troyelam8978 bros, this video is 100% true, yes it's segments but that segment is bbbiiigggg
@@a.cardott3928 I have no idea what those last letters you wrote are supposed to mean. What I do know is I lived in Marin County for years, and I have never seen what they are mentioning in that documentary, except with a few people here and there, just like everywhere else. They weren’t mass hot tub orgies going on, etc. Now, if they were going on in the early 70s, that’s a different story. But then again that was happening all over the bay area due to the hippie movement! Don’t try to blame that all on Marin County.
@@troyelam8978 oh no, definitely not confined to marin! but just the way the (super wacky) people interviewed SPEAK, you know, there's subtle influence of that counseling and human fulfillment scene in their speaking, i have relatives and friends from school with parents like that
As another native of Marin County I can vouch for every claim made by Graham.
As the one who happened to score this documentary, and got to know the people involved, I feel qualified to say that conclusions like the ones above are hugely overblown. Marin has always been a mix of things, but the producers did their best to sensationalize the worst of it in order to hype the show--and for that they were sanctioned by the National News Council as I recall, as well as the Marin Board of Supervisors. The good thing was that all the hubbub reportedly caused a sizable exit from Marin, and even California, which gave us Marin lifers a little more space to spread out, at least for a little while.

This documentary is about unhappy people with money from other states, who moved to Marin, exploited it's beauty and open-minded, gentle vibe, drove up real estate prices and changed the image of the county. Those of us who were raised here before that resented this stupid "documentary" that did not mention the good people who lived simple, decent lives in Marin before this shit happened.
many such cases
lol
Yup yup ...I was living so peacefully on Shell road. Went to Alto edna mcquire
I moved to Marin in July, 1976 from Upstate NY. My Dad lived here then. 14 months later I moved to LA. I returned here in 1989, so far to stay. I did get elements of this "Vibe" here in 1977. I've gotten it much less since returning, but some elements may live on...?
I moved to Marin from San Jose when I was one. That was, let's just say, a LONG time ago. There are all the reasons in the world (literally) that I would NEVER leave. You couldn't pay me enough. This MOCumentary was created by the most jealous of ignorant people who have never spent so much as a day in Marin, nor knew anyone from Marin before deciding to make this film. There's a whole lot of "from what I have heard" and zero facts to back any of it up. You get a MUCH more accurate representation of Marin life by reading the comments from people who have lived here all their lives.
I spent a few years recently in Sonoma County and was borderline suicidal while there. Depressing! The SECOND I moved back into my Marin house, it was euphoria from that moment on. A whole new perspective and appreciation for the greatest place on Earth... Marin County.
I had what I call the good fortune of living in Marin County during my older teenage years, and then moved back for another 10 year stretch due to my job, having left again five years ago now. I have literally lived in northern, central and southern California, and outside of maybe Solvang or Laguna Beach, nothing else compares to Marin, if even they! I see this as objectively as I possibly can, I don’t think there’s another place in America that you could live that has the combination of nature, character, class, inconvenience that defines Marin County! You would literally need to go to another country to find a similar all in one destination. Anyone that doesn’t have Marin County in their top three dream places to live, could not have spent longer than a week in there. Either that or they are so ghetto, anything less than nightly house parties and low-rider side shows is boring to them.
That’s why, even as someone that is nowhere near rich, hopes Marin County keeps their prices high and even elevates them! Do whatever it takes to keep riffraff out. keep their broke, ghetto, barrio, trailer asses out of there, and I am referring that to all colors!
I miss it so much. We sold out house so my mom could go to school for a year..a trip to Hawaiian and the money was gone. House on Shell road..omg worth millions now. Bought it for 20 k 1970
Born and raised here...self absorbed capital of the world. My "sperm donor" got involved in every fad that crossed his bow and we grew up without a father...even though he remained married to my mother and was sitting "right there" watching TV next to us.
Gen X got royally screwed up by these selfish nutcase boomers.
Coffee's Hangar it's amazing to me that most of the world and other ethnic minorities (especially the women) see white men as less promiscuous than their ethnic counterparts (especially black men). Yet, these stories come up ALL the time. And what about the Ted Bundy's and Mansons off the 70's? Too bad for the children. I could care less what a grown man or woman does to their lives but really, too bad for the children...
And those are some beautiful kids she had their in the documentary. Don't know what you got until you lose it SMH
I'm a graduate of Dominican University in Marin County.
Aside from the ridiculously low price quoted in this film for a home in Marin as compared to today, I think the part about the Human Potential Movement and it's ripple effect on relationships is quite accurate.
My family and I were all deeply and seriously involved in est in the early and mid-70's, and 40 years later, I had a friend who grew up in Marin as an only child, adopted by an older and highly-educated couple. She doesn't believe in ever admitting any personal fault or wrong doing (read: never apologizes); is married, but chooses not to work so that she can attend several weekly encounter group meetings in order to "better herself for others." After 4 years, I dropped her as a friend because her "inner self" workshop honesty severely lacked any glimpse of empathy or compassion for others.
Obviously, hypocrites favor no particular religious or political affiliation, sexual orientation, gender, or ethnicity.
+Robby Moore Unlike you, right? lol
+Charlotte Tan Just making an observation of my feelings over the disappointment of losing a close friend. No need to throw shade here.
Sure there is. You did it. :D
+Robby Moore i lived in bay area most my life n we refered to those as EST-HOLE cuz first they were activist n hippies then they just walked away from any responsibility for others n community. ..like cutting you out as friend if u didnt cut ur hair n become a yuppie. those poor kids broke my heart
Yara Mery "est holes" lmfao! 😝
"I'm not responsible for my children". Funny shit.
I was born in marin,from Marin wood to the Dominican area in San Rafael, ending up in Ross. Marin is magical and even though I know longer live their, it will always be dear to my heart.

I lived in Marin in 1978 and don't remember any of this. I had a 8-6 workday 5.5 days a week so that may have been a part of it. If you google life expectancy in Marin you will find that Marin has the highest life expectancy in the US (counties about 250,000) and exceeds every blue zone including Japan and Italy. They must be doing something right.
What about the highest suicide rates; having it all, so to speak, makes people miserable or something
"Marin County, California has one of the highest suicide rates in the Bay Area and the highest among metropolitan counties in the state. Between 2017 and 2019, 16.2 people per 100,000 died by suicide in Marin County, which is well above the state average. However, according to Marin County, local data indicated a decrease in suicide from the previous five years, beginning in 2021.
@@gterrymed The suicide rate in Marin is higher due to the proximity to the Golden Gate Bridge and San Quinten Prison my friend.
@@pointreyes4272 and I just thought of the bridge 🌉 when you replied, it's like a de facto statistic, not really accurate. Thanks
@@gterrymedmy man half of the golden gate is in Marin county. A jumper walks a little to far from the city and boom suicide statistic for Marin.
When you have more than you need thats when you call it greed.
Really? Who is the arbiter of how much a given person "needs"?
@@FuzzBangbuster Every socialist believes they know.
Actually, the saddest thing of all about this is the spectacle of that Edwin Newman idiot stomping around the place in his suit and wingtips (it reminds me of that picture of Nixon walking around the beach in his Oxfords). And--amazingly--they mention a rainbow in the theme song, but the tunnel doesn't seem to have them yet!
Charlotte Tan hahaaaaa! 😁👍🏼👍🏼
Actually the rainbow is on the OTHER side of the tunnel! I was born there, lived there most of my life after my parents moved us away... and oh yeah, I’m actually IN this video! I’m the 14 month old baby girl featured at the end of this documentary.
@@amandan5268 Interesting -- hope you had a nice childhood in somewhere in the midwest.
Almost all the people shown in this video are non-observant Jews, including the presenter Edwin Newman. I suppose, based on this video, that the people who moved to Marin and ruined it were largely Jewish people.
I think we were one of the first Black families with a bit of money in 81’. We lived in a big house on Lincoln ave. We used to walk down to Franks mini mart and buy a bagel dog and cinnamon rolls. My best friend lived across the street. His name was Juble. I went to Coleman. San Rafael was such a fun place for a kid of any color in the early 80’’s.
I love bagel dogs! I miss Marin so much
Producers went in with an agenda. Looked for people and situations that fulfilled that agenda. At lot of generalities based on little or no facts. You can always find what you are looking for. Some things were going on in Marin County that were unusual at that time compared to the rest of the country, but I doubt what NBC represented reflected the community of Marin County as a whole.
I agree. When this first aired, my mother, my 14 year old sister and I lived in Marin. Our lives were totally different. My parents were divorced, but almost none of my friends' parents. My sister and did nutty things like Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts, playing childhood sports, and attend Church on Sunday. My mother was so radical, she'd serve as a volunteer usher at theatre performances in San Francisco. My Boy Scout Patrol got its picture in the local paper for winning a first aid competition.
Yup. The prover proves what the seeker seeks.
The average house price was $61,000 OMG!
He said $91,000. Which would come out to about $375,000 in inflation-adjusted 2021 dollars. Which would still be a steal today. You can't knock Bay Area property as a long-term investment, going up way ahead of the general inflation rate, though you'd have to be rich to buy in today.
I lived with a RE Agent in East CM in 1977. She tried to emcourage me to get in to the business. I didn't (Bummer). We had friends buying Condos for $33k and selling them 4-6 months later for $78k.
Housing was high priced in Marin even then. For comparison, I bought a two bedroom house and a two stall garage in a West Michigan town in 1976 that was move in ready. The price -- Only $4,000, paid for in cold, hard $100 bills at the closing!!!!! I sold it in 1981 for $12,000 and plowed that money into a three bedroom home on two acres and a lake (I wish I had kept the lake front house now, it is probably worth $500K or more). Back then more people managed to pay cash for their homes, now they spend $20K and have $1000 house payments even in the cheaper areas of the country!
This video is hilarious - I missed the 70s in Marin altogether! I moved to SF in the late 80s. I found my way to places like Mill Valley, Stinson Beach, Point Reyes Station, Inverness, Fairfax, etc. There's nothing better than driving the hills of Marin and Sonoma in summer weather. Then there's the food and the exquisite local produce. I am grateful I got to live in multiple North Bay locations over different periods of time. Life was good. If I won a _large_ lottery, I would certainly move back.
I'm so grateful my parents gave up so much to raise me there. It was some of the happiest (hippiest?) times of my life. Bike rides. Bonfires on the beach. Surfing perfect waves at isolated breaks where the only true locals were the seals and sharks. The Mountain. Locally sourced foods. Rock stars in the check out lines. Strong ales, local wine, cheese and fresh oysters. All of the nature, art, music and even the architecture I was exposed to there molded me into the person I am today. It's been a good life, all the sweeter for having spent time there. As you can tell, I'm quite pleased with myself. Perhaps it's the EST. ;-) I do miss it and go back often, but it's not the same as it was. Nor are we.
I live there as well and what you just said encapsulates everything this place is.
William Savage 👍🏼🌼💜🌼💜🌼💜🌼💜🌼
Same as it ever was
Where did you go to school? I remember going to friends houses man they were rich. We were so poor but had a house in Mill valley by horse hill. I didn't like it when the East Coast moved in
"$91,000!" But, anyway... This documentary (mockumentary?) hasn't aged well, but then, neither have the 1970s. We lived in Mill Valley during this time. I remember we watched this when it aired on TV and we spent most of the time laughing and poking fun, and occasionally recognizing a favorite place or street corner. They concentrated on a relatively small area of the county, in the southeast near 101. The further north and west you went, the less of this silliness you would encounter. Still-- we did know some people who were just like this. Everyone over 30 seemed to be divorced. A neighbor blew all her money-- everything-- on "est" seminars, then demanded her tenants fork over three months' rent in advance, then blew THAT. A dear friend-- affluent, intelligent, attractive, and desperately sad-- committed suicide. I dated a lady who worked at the famous (infamous?) Physical Therapy Center up near the Sweetwater. Some of the clients there were monumentally self-absorbed, and every night they went from the spa and the exercise room right to the bar next door. Cyra came to one of my band's shows, a fun and funny lady, her book was serialized in a local paper and we cracked up over every installment. I haven't set foot in Marin since 1999, but the memories are there.
Thanks for posting. I went to Marin County once for lunch around 1982 when I was about 20 years old. I sat in the outdoor dining area overlooking the bayfront in a beautiful garden. Food was great but I kept looking over my shoulder and wondering what was wrong with this place. I was very uneasy which is rare for me. After seeing this video I now get it. The whole "look" of the area was awesome but lots of destruction behind closed doors.
+Joel Voss Oh please! What're you, psychic or something?
Nope, but I do have eyes in the back of my head. And I have operational trouble radar. How about you?
I'm doing fine, thanks!
Charlotte Tan I still think San Francisco is better! Forest Hill, St. Francis Woods, West Portal, Pacific Heights, Presidio Heights, Sea Cliff 😀
I agree I lived there as a kid from 2-18. It was a great place to grow up. But as an adult I actually moved back and left after a few bc it became too insular for me. It was a bunch of myself everywhere and it freaked me tf out. I was 5 in 78 and we lived in Tiburon then larkspur canyon. Very good memories.
Be interesting to see a follow up on how these pathetic people aged and what happened to them….
40+ years and marin hasnt changed
My mother abandoned myself and my sibling for Marin Co., a thousand miles from us. She took all that "kids can raise themselves" crap to heart. Died young, broke and sick. Watching this from the exact year she left to "find herself" in the exact place she thought she'd be found explains a lot. All the people finding beauty in this area and it's "lifestyle" are missing the problem with the rampant narcissism and thinking it's all groovy. Free range children tend to disagree. My heart sank watching the kids who's mother decided they weren't "her responsibility" just because she felt like it.
Yeah, this was your experience with your mother. There are a lot of wonderful mothers in Marin County.
@@Nonamebabe95 It apparently was also the experience of the children in the documentary. I am sure there are lots of wonderful mothers everywhere, but Marin Co. in the 70s was not one of those places that was chock full of them. First hand knowledge. If you don't agree, try watching the entire documentary again.
At close to minute thirty-five, as the singer is singing watch the film's distortion involving her nose. Hilarious!!!!
Rita Abrams ( The Mill Valley Song ) wrote and performed the music for this documentary.
I had the honor of sitting next to her, - at our Anniversary Party ! Lovely woman !
The only thing worse than the few hucksters who have wasted peoples time and money in Marin are the sad comments below from hateful people who apparently can't get over the fact they were never invited to any of these parties. Keep going to church. The Mall. The bar. You live your lives huh?
Just watched a documentary released in late 2020 on HBO called "Baby God" about a fertility doctor who impregnated women, not with their husband's or partner's sperm, but with his own. Something about Brad Gulko, the boy in the "successfully divorced" family, struck me. He didn't look like either parent and seemed so resigned and depressed about his families situation. In "Baby God" doc, one of the subjects is a 'Brad Gulko' now a PhD geneticist, born in 1966, so would have been 12 in 1978 and who at 54, now looks exactly like his biological father the fertility doc vs the bearded, self-centered free love/open marriage guy. Anyway, a sad coincidence to have seen both of these docs in the course of the last couple of months. Hope Brad Gulko made a happy life for himself.
After I watched this a while back and last year came across the baby god doc.. the same thing occurred to me. It’s just upsetting that evil man got away with what he did and died an old man not guilty of any crimes but he did impregnate his own stepdaughter the man must of been a npd nutjob
This tracks. I heard a LOT of people in the 70s and 80s in Marin bought houses with coke money.
The best scene was the pharmacist talking about the high shrink to population ratio and all the scripts they wrote for psych meds. Tells you all you need to know.
Marvelous Marin...Will always be Marvelous...Happy Trails Sweet Soul's ❤
Stephenfriend The stories I could tell, but won’t. I was so much in the middle of all of this and I mean all.
Liked the video - it helps in knowing how we got to today and many avoiding any sense of responsibility.
@39:32 For godsakes, Alvy, even Freud speaks of a latency period!
Tupac Shakur was only 7 years old at the time this was released and he didn't move to Marin until 10 years later.
+Lindsay TM they called it the golden ghetto but Marin City where Tupac live was accross freeway from FRANK LOYD WRIGHT CIVIC CENTER AND JAIL where ANGELA DAVIS had her mock trail that found her innocent of trumped up police action. . as if rasicm didnt exist as if poverty didnt exist. ironic n sad. me me me! they never noticed the police state!
+Yara Mery , Marin City was 10 miles south of The County HQ and jail. Other side of freeway, yes. Lived in Tam Valley and Sausalito for 12 years, and sold at the Marin City fleas market. This documentary totally missed those of us who were the workers, teachers, the middle class. The intro by the person who posted this totally sucks.
havent made it to middle class yet. but some of us had some good times back then even if we were poor n 'outcasts' fearing the cops would throw us in jail for a roach in ashtray. thx for response...
Marin City is NOT across the freeway from the Civic Center!!! They are ten miles apart. I have lived here most all of my life and it is fairly obvious you have never been here (or paid attention to where things are)... Geez...
Craig Love
Why is the shopping center in Marin City always vacant?
10:00 "More ecology enthusiasts" - Love the dated lingo.
they mean "growing weed outside the gas-guzzling car garage"
@@a.cardott3928 I didn't mess with weed back then but I sure had some gas guzzlers. I had a 1967 Imperial and a 1969 Ford F-250 at the time of this being filmed (I should note that I am not in the documentary, I did not live in California at the time and do not now). They got about 10-12 miles to the gallon on the highway. Gas was about 45 cents per gallon so I really didn't give a (expletive).
As a former Marinite, this film is disappointing. My memories are not of open marriage and the self absorbed, but of open mindedness, interest in learning, liberalism, ecology awareness and caring for the environment. I would have loved to have stayed there, had I been able to afford it. I just about fell over when I heard that the average price for a house in Marin is 91K!
+Linda Osborne Even adjusting for inflation, that's $330K in 2015 money. Good luck finding anything in Marin, or practically anywhere else in the Bay Area for that price now!
+Peter Werner The closest I think I can get to Marin (besides Vallejo) is Lake Co. Stuck in Utah right now but hope to make it back to California next year.
+Linda Osborne lake co. is now meth capital...please dont move there...sonoma co. taken over by WINE INDUSTRY stealing water from citizens...mendo county might have chance. humbo over taken by police state...del norte co. home of worst prison in US...no where to run except maybe HALF MOON BAY south of SF or YREKA in NE corner near or border....california is sad place right now. nothing for sale in marin unless ur Billionaire...
+Yara Mery - Thanks for your input. I was in Lake County this year and the drug areas seem to be mostly in Clearlake. There are many other areas that don't appear littered with druggies like Kelseyville and parts of Finley. Also Lucerne looked nice. I can't afford to be anywhere closer and don't want to live north of Lake Co.
+Linda Osborne thanks for letting me know there r still some safe places left. good luck
The guy dating the lady seemed to know her daughter a little too well. His "hi Kelly" sounded charged to me, like they had history. Gave me the creeps
This is absolutely NOT an accurate depiction of everyone in Marin. Missed a whole ton of people. Lived there 1974 -1986. As a student at UC Berkeley, during the 1960's, I hiked all over the place and made bonfires on the beaches of Pt Reyes. I made my living doing yachting and aerial photography, and teaching in public schools.
+Doug Keachie sounds like a good living.
Sounds like a Marin living.
I can't say what part of the discovery of the old film footage of life in Marin was most revealing, perhaps it was talk of the book The Serial. Or, it could have been that I had desired to live the lifestyle promoted in the human potential movement as a young women in Michigan, not knowing that it had the human potential of becoming so self-indulgent (i.e.narcissistic).
Not an accurate representation of the real Marin, but it was interesting to go back in time - the 70s streets, the clothes and haircuts and semantics, thanks for posting this (e.s.t. Lmao! 😂 primal screaming, rolfing, open marriages, the advent of sushi and macrobiotic diets - fun to remember🌼)
Nothing wrong with sushi! Restaurant Ino in Mill Valley was my go to for many many years.
That lady with the white hair pissed me off! That is some selfish ish right there! It's like you move away to neglect your kids feelings. I mean I understand to have your own time, but don't be all like, "I don't care about my kids anymore because Iistened to this "Guru"!"
and don't forget she was from Florida, not Marin.
I remember married parents "not wanting their children to hang out with me because my parents are divorced."
Fred Mitouer was one of my teachers in middle school! A lot of this stuff is true but perhaps overdrawn for dramatic effect. But true too much money, too many drugs, and too many kids without adult supervision made Mill Valley a weird place to grow up. Wonderful but also weird.
the divorce rate got lower because its too expensive to move out and live alone now, this place is the exact same as this movie describes to this day. I grew up and go to college here, take it from a local.
Hey, wait a minute! Isn't Swami G at 23:11 Delores Taylor (Tom Laughlin's wife)?

@@shizuehicks7442 Boxer's maiden name is Levy and Coyote's real name is Robert Cohon. Both Jewish.
This makes a great double bill with the fictional film "Serial."
Pray for us all still. This is now 2023.
I lived in Marin at that time with the lovely woman who gave the show its title. I think the New York elite cynics who conned a lot of us into opening up and trusting them portrayed Marin badly. It wasn 't Paradise, nor was it purgatory. It was a generous, experimental, convention defying place open to new ideas and ways of living. Wealth brings its own cache of problems. The Serial was a book and movie that tipped Newman off. He had a negative take. Some didn't fit and suffered. Some did and prospered. Those were heady times. Newman was an ill suited anthropologist trying to squash a privileged group into an average sieve. Apples and oranges. Yes...too much emphasis on self, but that's where experience starts. Know thyself and know the world. Unfortunately some stop at the "thyself" part. Santa Barbara was a SoCal equivalent in terms of self inquiry, but much less generous. Reaching one's human potential is the beginning of society achieving its own. I left...and am glad. No regrets. Sadly, my friend Kathy Burke is not close to all her children although she loves them and was far more daily attentive to them and responsible and loving than the program showed. The divorce and struggle for balance cut into future relationships. I too no longer see Kathy.
Book?
@@BrianJMonahan Cyra McFadden’s “The Serial”
Thank you for your fantastic comment. I was born 7 years after this documentary, but made my way to California in my late teens with a growing fascination for its history as a place of pilgrimage for seekers - once thought of as a new Eden. I study the history of its counter cultural movements and it’s unique position as the seat of the human potential movement. Yes, it faltered and has its shortcomings but I wholly agree with you that transformation all begins with knowing yourself, and exploring all your potentials. It became en vogue in the 80s and onward to be snide and cynical towards the decades of searching that began in the 60s, which saddens me. I now study transpersonal and integral psychology at the California Institute of Integral Studies and hope that my work can embody some of the spirit you describe, with the privilege of a rear view mirror view of its shortcomings and pitfalls. Again, thank you for the comment.
I just lost my virginity to this "where the rainbow ends" song
I grew up in Marin in the 70s
It was wonderful back then
You couldn’t pay me to live there now with it’s ridiculous high home prices and crazy traffic
agreed
Of a powedery nature ??? Hmmm. Amazing what head shops were like in the late 70's
These are the same people that probably go to frogs in fairfax and do there "hot tubbing" 😂
No wonder my parents wouldn’t let me watch this when I was a kid.
Lord hear our prayers. The best part of being in Marin for decades is that we have God all around us although Satan keeps trying to take us over unable to do.
I wouldn't be harsh to judge this lady. A divorcee with four children! That's a lot to handle.
@1:28 The theme song, "End of the Rainbow" is written and performed by none other than Rita Abrams, better known for the saccharine-sweet "Mill Valley" song that performed with her 3rd grade class a few years earlier. Sounds like she got a bit more jaded as the '70s wore on.
I thought she sounded familiar. She's really an icon of MV.
@@ClueSign Ironically, she left Marin in 2014, according to Wikipedia. Yet another old Marinite who's probably been priced out.
@@germpore It is true that Rita was priced out of Marin. Now if you can't cough up $1 million or more you aren't going to be buying a home in Marin County! Rents are $4K per month or more unless you want to live in Marin City.
@@mharris5047 As a matter of fact, I did live in Marin City, and it's not at all a bad place to live. Home prices are now approaching a million there too. I sold my place there a few years ago, in spite of it being a good investment, as the cost of upkeep was simply outstripping my income, and I could no longer afford to just sit on this pricey property that I could get some needed cash from. So now I'm out of Marin for good too.
Almost all the people shown in this video are non-observant Jews, including the presenter Edwin Newman. And add Abrams to the list. I suppose, based on this video, that the people who moved to Marin and ruined it were largely Jewish people.
The only substance abuse I ever witnessed there was Chardonnay and Xanax!
You didn't go to the right parties.
I am sure many people have died from that combination. One person I know called that "dying like a rock star"! Alcohol and benzodiazepines don't mix well and 999/1000 doctors do NOT recommend it.
Weird, that Brad kid does not look like his father at all

"In Marin County"
There were more people in Marin back then than there are now. And WAY more kids.
There are 256,000 people in Marin county in 2024. That is 40,000 more than the video stated in the beginning of it. And yes, Marin is I think the second ‘oldest’ county in the nation, so fewer children.
Did you all miss the part where all those people interviewed were not even Marin natives? Beginning in 1970, people from Chicago, New York, New Jersey, and LA, as well as from farther abroad, Iran, and the UAE: Dubai, Abu Dhabi, etc., (oil boom) arrived en masse and took over the county. It was a case of follow the money... and they all came running, and took over. Cyra McFadden, another non-native from Montana, who wrote the satirical column (and novel) called The Serial, in 1977, was largely responsible for promulgating much of this narcissism. And people believed it. A case of life imitating art. The entire mocumentary was centered around one small community area: Mill Valley and Belvedere; not the rest of Marin, which is the best of Marin. Who were all those people interviewed? Not native Marinites, that's for sure.
You mean you guys don't all have EST training and 4 hour nude peacock feather massages? Disillusioning!
Just like liberal assholes from back east took over this state. All the liberal assholes in the country deserve the liberal asshole natives from Marin and the rest of California. It has turned this state into a political shithole.
I concur with your assessment Mo V Hurley: "The rest of Marin is the Best of Marin" (WEST MARIN!)
Like you I was raised in Marin. Graduated from Drake High in 1970. I moved to SF in 1973. I'm still here but probably will leave the area once I retire next year. To think Cyra McFadden is in her 80s

This documentary is sort of laughable! Where are all these hot tub/dragon sex parties? I sure couldn’t find them when I lived in Marin and I live there for years! It was borderline boring, but in a good way. I guess a better word would be peaceful. I’m sure they were hot tub party somewhere, but my ass wasn’t invited to them. LOL. And they certainly weren’t heavily advertised!
The Bay Area hasn't changed much. The kids of these sociopaths are much, much worse. Such a self-entitled and small-minded part of America.
The First Matrix was pattern after Marin County, It was a disaster. No one would accept the program. Entire crops were lost.
Funny …like the people in this documentary and agree with the ideas like “want something have to stop chasing and do it yourself” but perhaps today is the opposite of that
where are they now?
I don't suppose you have this WITH original commercials? Just curious thanks!
You'll find some on TH-cam also
@12:50 that’s flawed data. Less than 10% of the suicides were people from Marin County. People, especially back then, traveled from far & wide to commit suicide off the Golden Gate Bridge. Of the local people most were from San Francisco or further south on the peninsula to San Jose. Also wealthy conservatives do the exact same things as the people in this video they are just very secretive about it. I’ve lived & worked in substance abuse counseling in Florida Georgia Texas & Indiana where most of the older patients were Republicans & the young patients were Democrat children of Republican parents. The only real difference between them was the substances of choice tended to be different ie Alcohol & cocaine was a 70-30 split towards conservative while heroin was 70-30 liberal (these numbers represent data from the majority middle to upper middle class white people who sought treatment where I worked. Minorities were also patients but on a far lesser scale -they tended to seek treatment in urban centers).
The flawed data is probably what got Edwin Newman censured, never appeared in serious "news" again.
Flash forward> 2016 huge traffic, illegal aliens, homeless, vagrants, etc.. This was a silly time, fer sure!
You said it. When I went to COM back in the late 1960s, you could stroll across College Avenue or Sir Francis Drake Blvd to get to the campus. Now, it's all light-controlled but you feel like you're risking your life.
I blame this "documentary" or whatever it was for bringing in the Yuppies in the 1970s, mostly from the East Coast and Midwest. Spoiled the serenity and unpretentiousness of Marin County.
It's so sad that you might have to wait for a light to cross the street. Clearly this is the fault of this documentary and, of course, illegal aliens. /s
It kills me how people defend illegal aliens, as if totally blind to the negative affects. However, if you were to present them the same logic people used to defend illegal aliens, to defend a bunch of poor black people sneaking their way into a bank, so they could feed their families, afford better schooling for their defenseless kids, who had no choice, and afford a better place to live, there would be no such sympathies! Yet I challenge you to tell me what the difference is.

It's the epitome of the stereotypical California mindset
Those of us who lived here at the time of its airing knew it was a cheap, misleading, and dishonest film that was made to get ratings with little regard for representing a place. It's an LA film of what they think people want to see about a place they've never visited and would like to put down because it has such natural beauty.
Thank you. This film is complete garbage, invented to make news. It has nothing to do with Marin at all. I have lived here since 1952 and it is a wonderful place!
RyGil91 It's a bullshit doc. These people aren't even native Californians. Not a true depiction at all, the producers obviously worked hard to find the most obnoxious, controversial people available.

Dude, are you angry or what?!.......
"Each story in this film is an accurate depiction of everyone in Marin and does not deviate from any Marinite's experience, without exception." Nothing is absolute & I am 5th generation Marinite and this represents only the 70's & not all people's experience. Even a couple things are misrepresented and much is certainly not explained with maturity & an understanding of the world's bigger picture that we have now. Don't get me wrong, I hated the 70's in Marin, but it was a necessary step for all .

I would really appreciated some additional information from the person who posted this please!!!
Do you agree with me that most of the people in this documentary appear to be non-observant Jews? Even the presenter, Edwin Newman, is Jewish. It's almost as if Newman ignored the gentiles in Marin to focus solely on Jewish people, but without announcing this to the audience.
well I guess thats how all these none Americans got all the jobs now. while many its r homeless now....times have changed...I wonder what these ppl think now...
kinda cringe
I'd like to add that I noticed the people being interviewed have a lot of negativity and aggression toward people they don't know. Perhaps they could use a few therapy sessions or a massage or two. Everything they say that is negative about Marinites, is based on their own distorted and negative views and false assumptions of other people's lifestyles and motivations. These are people who are unhappy with themselves and need to drag others down to their level. Sad. In fact, this entire "documentary" is focusing on nothing but negativity. Attempting to drag happy, well-off people down to their depressed level. That is a futile attempt.

by today's standards this all seems pretty benign... I was 5th Gen SF, 3rd gen Marinite until I got so sick and tired of the ultra radical, socialist left destroying what was once a fairly moderate and conservative leaning environment, I moved out of state. There was always a modest liberal influence however it was balanced with the generationally ingrained conservative conscience. All this was destroying 50 years ago this summer by a bunch of immature, irresponsible, mommy/daddy issues laden socialist/communists that thought their drug laden, perverted, STD/LSD "I celebrate my unwillingness to take ANY responsibility for my life" lifestyle was good for everyone. Unfortunately, the pendulum has never swung back to a moderate, more adult center. My story isn't unique. Many of the "old" families left for the exact same reason. It's my opinion that Marin is not and will never again be the paradise it once was. Just as the state as a whole is a failed experiment socially and financially, Marin is a failed experiment in ultra socialism and utopian communism. Just look at the property values as an example of failed policies. The average price of a home in marin is now $1 million dollars. Where's your utopian, everyone is entitled solution there? Fail.
W W The most important place in California is still pretty conservative: the home. People, out of necessity, are more liberal and "tolerant" on the street but when you're having dinner at home with your children, parents are teaching them certain values. That is why in SF politicians, many end up in Marin and sending their kids to private schools, not racially integrated public schools. So, what has happened is that many counties have remained white (Marin, Humboldt, Sonoma, etc) and some have become more middle-income and diverse (Alameda, Contra Costa, San Mateo). While those at the bottom of the barrel, or totem pole if you will, end up in Stockton, Sacramento, Fresno, or even out of state like Texas...
I have no idea how you'd view view the excesses of wealthy hedonistic individualism and call it a problem of "socialism". I suggest you look up what that actually is. You might vehemently disagree with it, but I guarantee, it's definition is not "everything I find bad".
@@germpore I know 3 diehard socialists that moved to Marin County who can't ever shut up about how thay are "low income" just so they could obtain more welfare $. One "volunteers" a few hours a week looking at public park shrubs and trails and get paid a full salary by the county. The county pays for most of her housing and even some food. And all three are very critical about how non-socially conscious Marinites are. I think that is what the poster was talking about. There are a lot of poor socialists in Marin - they go there for more of the "people's " $.
Almost all the people shown in this video are non-observant Jews, including the presenter Edwin Newman. I suppose, based on this video, that the people who moved to Marin and ruined it were largely Jewish people.
Correction: There are most cocaine snorters in the capital.
Add you talking about wash Dc?
Someone graffiti'd a Bank of Marin automatic teller machine with "Coke Machine." way back then.
