It's 1967, the Summer of Love and the launch of "Hippie Culture? in San Francisco. Canada celebrates Centennial Year with EXPO 67 in Montreal. War is waged in Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and Biafra. In the USA, there is widespread racial conflict and in China it's the beginning of the Cultural Revolution. The Beatles play All You Need Is Love in a BBC, first-ever live global broadcast.
In Toronto, Yorkville is the centre of the Hippie community and 2,500 people stage a sit-in for a pedestrian mall. I Am Curious - Yorkville relives this era in an exciting combination of vintage film, sound and music. Live camera feedback puts you into the picture - a moving image of citizens yesterday and today. All You Need is to be here.
