Wow. It really is a good message and very logical. Very true. I wish we could learn to move beyond it. Incorporate it more into our everyday lives. Thank you for sharing the videos. I've been enjoying them.

It appears as if the films were made more to sell films with lots of nudity and the narration on nudism was used as the rational to pass some censorship restrictions. They are too unrealistic to be believed that they were made to promote nudism. The bodies were too buff, too many tan lines and white tails and 80% emphasis on female bouncing boobs and the activities were badly scripted.
Interesting but just my impression.

I recognized one of the locations in the movie as The Swallows/Sun Island in Harbison Canyon near El Cajone CA. I was a member of that club back in the 1990's. It was great to see all the old time pictures of the place sadly though it is no longer a nudist club. After the wild fires of 2003 it fell on tough times and after several attempts to sell it to another party to remain a nudist club fell through it was sold as a trailer park. I have many fond memories of it though. It was the first nudist club I ever visited and the first one I became member of. I suspect the nude beach is Pirates Cove however I can't be sure. I sure miss the old days.

These films show nudism as the joyful and playful endeavor we need to ensure it remains. Everyone is having fun and being respectful of others. We need more of these type of positive portrayals of normal people enjoying life and freedom. BRAVO! and thanks to all the film makers, participants, and to this website for sharing.

You can buy a copy of this film on Amazon.com, of course.
It's essentially a silent movie with the director calling for the participants to do the different activities; what is really weird is the seemingly random and gratuitous presentation of trophies and ribbons to the women.

We can complain about the emphasis on pretty young women and buff bodies and tan lines, but isn't it refreshing to see nude people having fun in the outdoors, without a silicone boob, tattoo or piercing in sight? Or am I being too old fashioned?

So it isn't the Great American Documentary. So it maybe it is unrealistic because the people are all young and eye-pleasing. So the narration is a bit on the silly side.

But it shows naked people having good clean wholesome fun. If it gets one textile interested in the clothes free lifestyle, it is worth it.

Great film showing real people enjoying nudism. There should be an update to this as social nudism has come a long way. Keep posting videos like this.

Great film and great models but it seems to be one sided e.g. focus tends to be more on women than on men and women. This is typical of most nudist films and publications in that they tend to satisfy the male prurient interests that being nude females..
