YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Bingham turns to oral history, drawing on a hundred interviews to document one of the most turbulent years of a turbulent decade. Between August 1969 and August 1970, the escalation of violent demonstrations at home matched the country’s increasingly untenable military involvement abroad. With statements from students, celebrity activists including Jane Fonda, underground figures such as William Ayers, and many others, Bingham covers the era’s milestone political and cultural events from My Lai to Kent State, Woodstock to the Pentagon Papers.
