Review of Berkeley in the Sixties (1990) by Michael S — 15 Dec 2007

This documentary is cool in that it explores what worked and didn't work in the perspectives of the Berkeley students that were involved in 'the revolution'. It was in hindsight that they realized they were able to help the civil rights movement and anti-war movement, but that they were not able to affect those changes at the National level.

The documentary also shows why 'straight' America, and Ronald Reagan, saw them as being 'insolent kids' on the 'lunatic fringe'. Also interesting to see how they became less credible and effective as they joined forces with the Hippies and the Black Panthers.
