An American Hippie in Israel, also known as Trey (from Hebrew הטרמפיסט, "The Hitch-hiker"), is a 1972 Israeli metaphorical counter-culture film written and directed by Amos Sefer starring Asher Tzarfati.
They join a larger group of hippies and decide to form an isolated community on a deserted island, where they can live in peace "without clothes, without government, and without borders.
Reviewer Brian Orndorf notes; "Sefer doesn't explain who these guys are or what they're ultimately after, hinting that the duo might be the personification of "the Man" out to silence the hippie uproar.
Upon reaching the tiny isolated land mass, the elated hippies do a free-form dance, skinny dip and, when dusk hits, settle in for some canned food by the fireside.
[5][6] Grindhouse Releasing posted a trailer for the film on YouTube that Murawski had edited, which was then picked up and seen by cult fans all over the world, including in Israel, the country of origin.
"[10] Reviewer Brian Orndorf of Blu-ray.com remarked, “for all the nonsense and pull-your-hair-out padding that's included in the feature, Sefer has a weird vision for "Hippie" that almost works if one squints hard enough, attempting to make an anti-war picture that's soaked in oddity and nudity.
