Pirates of Sausalito

It's the late 1970s, and the "houseboat wars" erupt in Sausalito on the site of Marinship, the abandoned World War II shipyard. Hippies and squatters are living on houseboats in a ramshackle shantytown, but city leaders and developers want to evict them and build a luxury harbor on the waterfront. The counterculture is in full flower, and the houseboaters band together to resist eviction with street theater, civil disobedience, music, monkeywrenching, and more. All in front of TV cameras.



Then someone gets stabbed. Imagine Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test meets Murder, She Wrote.



Not a true story, but inspired by true events.
