Centrepoint: A Spiritual Growth Community
Television (Full Length) – 1980
It forced people to make their own decisions about the subject. I judged it as a success as the commune members told me that it captured the special atmosphere of the “loving community” and others said that it showed the place for what it was and exposed the manipulation of Bert Potter.– Director Geoff Steven on the film’s reception
