This is a fantastic and provocative documentary. I definitely have an affinity for many of the people in this video, but the extended explanation of the politics of the 60s has left me SO mad and frustrated and disappointed.

What the hell is wrong with the USA? FFS, Vietnam wasn't enough? How many other countries did you fuck with? What the fuck are you doing in Iraq? Are you going to shoot more students when you go into Iran and they protest?

...

It makes me so mad. The only thing I can imagine is that this video represents a pipe dream. Some hippies wanted change, but most wanted sex drugs and rock and roll.

I think if the movement was really strong enough to end the war in vietnam, probably those same hippies wouldn't let the current war happen.

gr. it makes me so mad.

Looks like it's an old Google Video embed, but those are now extinct. Maybe someone can find a replacement: *dead

I can't get this to play -- I know it's a great video, but this is the only place I've been able to find it now. Can anyone help me out.
