Markson revisits the principle persons featured in his 1970 "drug culture" documentary BREATHING TOGETHER. Featured are Allen Ginsberg, Jerry Rubin, Abbie Hoffman, Fred Hampton, Deborah Johnson, Fred Hampton Jr., William Kunstler, John Sinclair, Don Cox and Timothy Leary.~Jay Scott wrote in the Toronto daily, "The Globe and Mail": "... an extended edition of those Where Are They Now? newspaper columns that reveal invaluable information about Gale Storm's arrested alcoholism or the fates of the human stars of Lassie. But in this case, the "they" whose whereabouts are revealed are significant sixties radicals - Abbie Hoffman, Jerry Rubin, Timothy Leary, William Kunstler, John Sinclair and their fates actually tell us someting about North American culture.~"The sixties yippy Jerry Rubin - photogenic, charismatic and hairy as Koko, the talking gorilla - claims, 'We don't want to grow up... We're irrational and crazy... The Pentagon is rational'. The eighties yuppy Jerry Rubin - less photogenic, not at all charismatic, clean-cut as the Republican national convention -really does think the Pentagon is rational, is emarrassed by watching clips of himself in the old days, works for the Republican Party and has a secret of life that boils down to this: 'I don't eat fatty foods'.~"His (d)evolution is mirrored by John Sinclair, who once managed the White Panther Party and the rock group The MC-5. The hirsute Sinclair of the sixties announces, 'We are a dying civilization... unless we can regain compassion and humanity, we're doomed... and, maybe, good riddance'. The improved Sinclair is obese and up to his double chins in renovating his huge house. Watching his former self, he is derisive: 'When you see this guy, you want to arrest him'.~"But Abbie Hoffman keeps on keeping on (he's mum on the issue of fatty foods) and has a ball watching himself in his younger days, riling up the government. 'I've been doin' this for 27 years. I got away with it this long, I don't have to change'. The punchline, from a comic who continues to be regularly incarcerated in connection with serious issues: 'One of these days, I'll get a trial right'". <80mn 28s>
