London, England circa 1971. A man dressed in women's clothing holds up a copy of Friendz (Friends) an underground newspaper part of the alternative society 'Underground Press' thats he's selling at the Nationwide Festival of Light. The Nationwide Festival of Light, was a short-lived grassroots movement formed by British Christians concerned about the rise of the permissive society and social changes in English society. The movement was opposed to what they saw as the growing trends in the mass media for the explicit depiction of sexual and violent themes, the so called 'Permissive Society'. Its culmination was a pair of mass rallies in Trafalgar Square and Hyde Park.
