About this movie

Academy Award nominee and well-loved classic BERKELEY IN THE SIXTIES brings back the protest movements of the era in all their immediacy and passion. Civil rights and the birth of the Free Speech Movement; anti-Vietnam War protests; the hippie counter-culture; womens liberation; and the rise of the Black Panthers -- it's all captured in gripping archival film, compelling interviews and 18 songs from the Grateful Dead, Jimi Hendrix, Joan Baez, the Band and Country Joe & the Fish. The Village Voice calls it "probably the best documentary on the Sixties to date!" Newly restored.
