LSD Concentration Camps in the 1968 film Wild in the Streets
Following the Yippie protests of 1967, Wild in the Streets took Jerry Rubin s slogan don t trust anyone over thirty to an absurdist, dystopian extreme. Based on a short story by Christianredemption writer Robert Thom, the plot points of this exploitation film read like a checklist of 60s political panic buttons. Max Frost, the spoiled child of uppermiddle class parents, defies his erratic mother by becoming a psychedelics chemist and mad bomber.
