In 1963, from a small field on Haskels Rascals Ranch in Los Angeles, an event known as the “Renaissance Pleasure Faire” was born as a class project by a history teacher.  From a school yard fundraiser, Ron and Phylis Patterson took a weekend event and turned it into a worldwide phenomenon.  In the years since, movements blossoming from the Faire include street performance, handmade arts & crafts, and living history scenarios which were all given new life.

Some 45 years later, Faire as it is affectionately known, touches the lives of millions of people a year as attendees, booth owners, and die-hard "rennies".

Recently struggling to redefine itself , the Faire is now competes with the World Wide Web, raves, and Burning Man. The documentary follows the incredible and insightful journey of a quirky group of people that defined a uniquely American movement.  Join the original participants as they share their stories and struggle to find their place in a changing world.
