The assassinations of Martin Luther King and Bobby Kennedy. The height of the Vietnam War. Civil Rights in America reaching levels of frenzied violence. Giant leaps (pun intended) in the space program (such as the Apollos 8 and 11 missions), climaxing in Armstrong's first steps on the moon. The Stonewall Riots and birth of the Gay Liberation Movement. A surge in feminism with the burning of bras at the Miss America Pageant in Atlantic City. The Manson Family. Woodstock. And that's just scratching the surface of what was going on during the last two years of one of America's (and indeed the world's) most tumultuous and dynamic decades... the 1960's.
From stories told throughout a number of books such as Theresa & Julia, Sixteen Millimeter Dreams, and Over the Rainbow and 'Round the Moon, here's a close-up of 1968 and 1969... a retrospect of pop culture, politics, and tales of ordinary people (like you and me) living their lives in extraordinary times. For a dark and deeply-divided period in our own history (such as today), it serves as a reminder that we've come through the growing pains of change before... and we can do it again.
This is Ariel Archer's testament to how the fabric of Fate, Chance, and Choices is woven amidst even the toughest threads. This is Peace, Love, and Hollywood.
