Calling all Deadheads! We’re screening the new documentary Summer Tour!
Few American demographics are more easily caricatured than Deadheads, those swirling, dosing, hippy-dressed vagabonds. But in his infinitely sweet and wise documentary, director Mischa Richter offers us the Deadheads as complex, self-aware and resourceful members of a wandering commune, one that’s admirable for its kindness and care.
Filmed across Dead & Company’s 2023 Goodbye Tour, the film is reminiscent of a classic American road movie and paints a tender portrait of one of the country’s last remaining countercultures. Following two young Deadheads as they follow the band from state to state, the film never shows the band performing but instead celebrates the fans who have kept their legacy alive for decades.
