Making Sense of the Sixties
One of the most comprehensive studies ever made of the 'decade of change', this 6-part documentary mini-series from PBS includes over a hundred interviews with the people who were there - activists, hippies, musicians, students, parents, authors - and begins with an outline of the conservative decade that preceded it. From McCarthyism and the Cold War to Vietnam, the Beatles and ground roots political movements, this is a compelling examination of a turbulent era that changed America and the world.
