The first woman who speaks (but does not appear on camera) took the trailer to a very dark place right away. Not a real effective hook, imo. Quite the opposite, I'd say.

I think that the first woman
I think that the first woman is the film-maker. Her part was both and closing lines of the "paragraph." In the first line she said how dark and shitty her life was, and the last line was how the GD experience cured her.
But yeah, I agree. Her first line makes it sound like it was all dark and nasty because she was a Deadhead.

There have been a few movies about Deadheads over the years.
Tie-Died: Rock 'n Rolls Most Dedicated Fans was probably the best of the bunch:

End of the Road, filmed during the last summer tour, was painful to watch.
Then of course there is the teenage coming of age drama "Around the Fire" about a prep school kid who runs away on Dead tour and starts slinging acid:

All that aside, the point of
All that aside, the point of the movie seems to be how much the Grateful Dead changed peoples lives. And mostly for the better.
Who here can deny that they changed theirs? For one thing none of us would be here to talk about anything. Mosts of us might never have met or interacted with each other. But this place is not where the change took place. That was on shakedown street of your first Grateful Dead show. And continues to this day. I know some of you are too young to have seen them, but does that keep you from listening to their music now? I think most here consider themselves Deadheads.
That said. I won't be buying a streaming service to watch it. Prolly check it out if it's free.

Meh, some rise, some fall. I know several people who's lives have been positively impacted through their Grateful Dead experience. There are also the burnout drug casualties, and the ones who got in over their heads and disappeared to who knows where? Then there are those who never found it to their liking, and moved right along.

I moved from Dover NH to San Francisco in April of 91. The only reason that happened is because I was introduced to the Bay Area by coming out for shows. The plan was to stay three years tops. Still here. So yeah kind of changed my life.
