What happens when a handful of unruly but authentic young people grow up absurd in 1950s America and rush headlong into the social and political upheavals of the 1960s? Through the hearts, minds, and actions of its young protagonists, Gates of Eden explores the excitement and urgency of the turbulent 60s and the struggles of an earlier generation that dared rage against the machine.From their scattered beginnings through a surge to resistance, Gates' complex, colorful characters invite us to join them as they transform 'hell no, we won't go' into a celebration of collective action, shared consciousness, and the realizations of their own fiercely personal dreams.
