This narration-free documentary examines the turbulent political and social history of the 1960s and early '70s by matching news footage of significant events to rock songs of the era. Some of the connections are obvious -- footage of the Kent State shootings is accompanied by Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young's "Ohio" -- but most of the songs are oblique, ironic comments, such as scenes of the 1968 Democratic Convention riots overlaid with Janis Joplin's take on George Gershwin's "Summertime."
