    Interesting Documentary

    I had never heard of Dean Reed, so this was all new to me.

    He really is an example where a social conscious, activism and naivety can lead down a very rocky path to an almost inevitable conclusion.

    If you end up alienated by both sides in the Cold War, where is there left to go?
