This has gotten ridiculous
I'm not sure what point this "documentary" is trying to get across. They lost me with the idiot claiming John and Lily as some kind of counterculture heroes. This has got to be a joke.
Lily and John didn't leave the US to take some principled stand against the US system. They went on the run to avoid arrest and prosecution. They are typical hippies. If you spend any amount of time in a hippie community you will meet hundreds just like them. Mostly just lazy stoners doing anything to avoid having to work. They might have been decent people who didn't deserve what happened, but they are hardly heroic revolutionaries. They ended up in Acapulco in the anarchist community because they had nowhere else to go. They never would have left the US without arrest hanging over them. You go live in cartel territory and take your chances.
This is where I stop. These people are a joke and this didn't warrant 6 hours of exposure on HBO. A true deep dive into the philosophy of anarchy would have been great. The people in this are not that interesting and hardly seem to live the ideals they supposedly believe in.
