To solve this, they created Apple Corps, a company that would invest their money and spread the values of the Hippie movement worldwide. For five years, Apple Corps was a colorful and chaotic company that launched various ventures, including a fashion shop, tech start-up, poetry division, and film production department.

The film is narrated by Peter Coyote, a counter-cultural activist, and explores the peaks and pitfalls of Hippie-dom.
