Endless Summer
It’s 50 years since Dorian ‘Doc’ Paskowitz and his wife Juliette began a bold family experiment. They raised nine children in a small campervan with hardly any money, no school and the beach as their backyard. Doc Paskowitz was a successful GP with a busy practice, but he gave it up along with his home and all his possessions to bring up his children unaffected by money and unspoiled by the real world. They travelled from beach to beach in the campervan and lived an endless summer for 15 years. Then it all went wrong. The radical approach to parenting is controversial and has been labelled as either inspired or completely misguided. Everyone will have a view. Sunday Night guest reporter Kerri-Anne Kennerley tracks down Doc, Juliette and the children to find out if the grand experiment worked or failed. You’ll be surprised to learn what happened and what the children missed the most.
