In the late 1960s and '70s a small group of idealistic young women and men, self-described as &quot;volunteer peasants,&quot; moved to the tiny town of Wells in British Columbia's Central Interior. These hippies, with their waist-length hair and handlebar moustaches, long paisley skirts and gumboots, rusted cars and worn sofas, brought with them a Canadian version of the continent-wide back-to-the-land movement, the sexual revolution and the privilege of personal freedom.<i>All Roads Lead to Wells</i> tells the story of these young settlers, their migration, their values, the unexpected friendships forged between the town's old-timers and newcomers and the inevitable clash--occasionally violent--of generations and cultures.<br><p>Built during the Depression, Wells nearly became a gold-mining ghost town like nearby Barkerville, but thanks to the influence of the &quot;back-to-the-landers&quot; it has evolved into one of BC's renowned arts-based communities.<i>All Roads Lead to Wells</i> offers a new take on the Cariboo--beyond gold and ranching.</p>
