Sean embarks on a fascinating journey to uncover the past and present of Taylor Camp, a unique nudist colony nestled in a remote part of Hawaii. Founded in 1969 by a group of free-spirited hippies from Berkeley, this utopian enclave on Kauai promised peace and a life in harmony with nature. However, paradise soon revealed its challenges. Sean delves into Taylor Camp's rich history with renowned photographer John Wehrheim, whose evocative images capture the essence of the community at its zenith. As he retraces the steps of those who once called Taylor Camp home, Sean seeks out the remaining members to piece together the story of this extraordinary experiment in communal living.
