This is the story of 1968 told in chronological order exclusively using footage and commentary from the year. The soundtrack consists of hits from the year as well lesser known songs from artists of the day. In looking at the unique events of that singular year in American history, a universal American narrative emerges. This film blends genres as it looks at power vs. protest, affluence vs. poverty, and the struggle for human rights vs. the tyranny of want and ignorance. These struggles continue.
