In 1967, the Beatles faced a financial crisis due to their massive success and tax bills. To solve this, they invested in Apple Corps, a company that would manage their finances and expand their brand. For five years, Apple Corps was a vibrant and chaotic company, with various divisions, including a fashion shop, hair salon, tech startup, poetry division, film production department, and record label. The goal was to spread the values of the Hippie movement globally. However, things took a turn when the Beatles' employees dropped acid during office hours. This unauthorized film tells the true story of Apple Corps through the eyes of those who worked there, featuring never-before-seen photos, animation, and rare footage. Narrated by Peter Coyote, a counter-cultural activist, the film is a cautionary tale about the highs and lows of Hippie culture.
