It begins in London's Kings Road, New York's Greenwich Village, Toronto's Market Street, Amsterdam's Dam Square. It goes all the way through Istanbul, Tehran, and Kabul to the East. For some it ends in contemplation on the Ganges or meditation in Khatmandu. But for others it may lead to drug addiction-in Delhi, among the drifting hippy communes of Asia. For too many it ends in repatriation, disease, even death. The hippy trail is more than a journey, it's an idea; people sometimes looking for new values, more often simply opting out, hoping for short cuts to a Nirvana that does not exist. Jeremy James and a Man Alive film unit followed the hippy trail to India and Nepal. But their journey brought them to London where the trail has finally and perhaps tragically ended for an 18-year-old girl they met in Delhi.
