Hippie Masala offers a fascinating chronicle of the 1960s and 70s counterculture movement. It effectively uses the historical journey of 'flower children' to challenge the perceived moral superiority of Western institutions. The film's strength lies in its systemic deconstruction of Western hegemony. By focusing on the pursuit of alternative spiritualities, it disrupts conventional expectations of social and spiritual progress. However, the documentary lacks specific detail regarding certain identities. While it captures the spirit of social disruption, it does not provide explicit focus on LGBTQ+ identities or disability representation.
