Lake Village, a documentary film by Kalamazoo College senior Ryan Booms
“Lake Village, a documentary film by Kalamazoo College senior Ryan Booms, tells the incredible story of an intentional community in Kalamazoo. Founded in 1971, Lake Village was once a 'hippie commune' but is now a thriving farm cooperative. Originally inspired by B.F. Skinner's novel Walden Two, the farm is an ongoing experiment on how to cultivate community in harmony with the earth. Capturing feelings of nostalgia and pathos for our rural past while also offering a promising vision of the world's future, the film is a must-see for anyone passionate about eating local foods and fostering community.” Muskegon Film Festival, 2009
