Getting Wasted
“"What we have here is bad craziness and a total disrespect for authority."”
Synopsis
An uptight military school gets a dose of hippie-infused rebellion when a group of students gather in support of the 1960s uprising going on around them. When a few students decide to bring the more liberal, artsy side of the revolution onto campus, they face opposition from much of the school's staff.
