Berkeley in the Sixties

Buy This Item Berkeley in the Sixties by FIRST RUN FEATURES  Available from Amazon  $26.99  on 11-26-2008     This outstanding documentary by Mark Kitchell, six years in the making, is a comprehensive and insightful story of campus and community activism as born at the University of California at Berkeley. Using extensive archival footage and bridging the distance between past and present with more recent interviews, Kitchell shows how a 1960 protest aimed at the House Un-American Activities Committee was the launching point for the Free Speech movement, which evolved into organized opposition against the Vietnam War, support for the Black Panther party, and the feminist movement. No simple valentine to student-demonstration days, the film brilliantly uses contemporary perspective to show how great legacies and inevitable failures were simultaneously born in a charged atmosphere. Not to be missed. <I>--Tom Keogh</I> Reader Reviews I lived in Berkeley during the 60's and knew some of the filmmakers; this documentary IS Berkeley during that time. Very accurate portrayal of a significant time in history.
