Tredwells personal footage for instance in this scene Herzog deftly places a piece of radio from the curator of the boutique museum over Tredweells footage "if I look at it from my culture Timothy across the boundary

society was not. This was all very attractive to me until I found out about the downside of this era. In short, two consequences from the times were drug addiction, and rampant sexually transmitted diseases. And among the heavyweights of the era was Timothy Leary.” (Reed-Sebesta) Certainly, not everyone is going to find favor towards what Leary advocates; it was also rather controversial as well, but Leary’s initiation of a newly proposed way of thinking helped voice out many in the era.
