    Bear Mountain Nation Punishment Park: Film Analysis

    PETER WATKINS : Well after all the planning in the preproduction, we started filming between August and September 1970, in the San Bernadino desert about one hundred or so kilometres from Los Angeles.

While under pursuit from the law enforcement officers.…
