The soundtrack was jazz, the drug of choice was booze, the paper of record was The Village Voice, and the written word was sacred. When Dan Wakefield moved from Indiana to New York City, he became part of a growing thriving culture in Greenwich Village that revered men like Norman Mailer and James Baldwin. Wakefield fell in with this crowd, these creative hipsters, these men and women who forged the way for the social protest movement of the 1960s. Betsey Blankenbaker's NEW YORK IN THE FIFTIES, based on Wakefield's memoir, combines old footage and photos of heroes like Mailer, Baldwin, and Jack Kerouac with contemporary interviews with people like Robert Redford, Bruce Jay Friedman, Ted Steeg, Joan Didion, and John Gregory Dunne, who were part of that vibrant scene. The film captures that period's expectant, hopeful feeling. These were people who knew that their collective intellect, and their artistic passion, would change the world. But the core of the story is Wakefield's, and despite the title, this is a very personal and touching account of that one young man from suburbia finding his mentors, and his true calling, in the big city.DVD Features:Region 1Keep CaseFull FrameAudio: Mono& Stereo - EnglishAdditional Release Material: Production Interview - 1.

This riveting documentary vividly chronicles the antiwar protest movement of the 1960s and'70s, which grew into a genuine people's revolt as the Vietnam War escalated. Centered around the University of Wisconsin in Madison, the film incorporates a mixture of news and television reports--including advertisements and political announcements--harrowing footage of riots at the university, and interviews with activists, campus leaders, and local police. The film starts with a'63 newsreel that portrays Madison as the number one spot to live, and gradually shows how the students' anger and outrage heats up. Their peaceful protests are ineffectual, and result in police brutality and riots. A prime example of this is the unprecedented violence at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago in'68. Ultimately, fringe student activism grew into a community, state, and nationwide outcry that was nonetheless unheard by a government who opted to suppress the violence of its citizens with tear gas and clubs rather than concede to their demands. Filled with fascinating archival footage and stirring songs of the era by artists such as Bob Dylan and Jefferson Airplane, this documentary from directors Glenn Silber and Barry Alexander Brown offers a galvanizing portrait of a time of true democratic crisis, when elected politicians and their citizens defied each other and chaos ensued.DVD Features:Region 1Keep CaseFull Frame - 1.33Additional Release Material: Trailer GalleryInteractive Features: Scene Access Interactive Menus
