Brokaw’s companion fragment to his book “Boom: Voices of the Sixties” reviews the most principal events in this turbulent year and places the events in their historical context. The Tet offensive in Vietnam, the assassinations of Martin Luther King and Bobby Kennedy, student uprisings, the Chicago Democratic Convention and increasing dismal militancy all receive balanced treatment. In addition, the documentary examines the evolving Modern Left, civil rights and counter culture movements, as well as the reaction to them on the section of the larger “still majority.” The beginnings of the feminist movement are also described.
Brokaw’s interviews include participants in events as well as people who experienced them from the outside. Events are treated with balance, as when the Chicago convention riots are described by both a policeman and a protestor who were show that night. Pat Buchanan is especially effective at highlighting how 1968 became a pivotal year for the rise of conservatism in presidential politics.

The program suffers from some sloppy and inattentive editing. For example, the interview of the army nurse in Vietnam only includes section of a epic which, in the book version, helps account for the deep emotional impact of the war on her life. Also, the Arlo Guthrie segment on “Alice’s Restaurant” comes across as a sentimental sing-along, and misses an opportunity to utilize the song to highlight the attitudes of many young people toward the military draft. Sometimes the editing feels “soft” and the material is a bit redundant around the commercial breaks.
Most annoying, especially when viewing the part more than once, is the soundtrack on the disc. According to the DVD box, the soundtrack music on the unique History Channel broadcast was replaced for the DVD version. The unlicensed, generic “tunes” that frame the documentary feel cheesy and cheap. Studio musicians attempt to replicate the sound of the times with tracks that sound familiar but never quite emerge as recognizable tunes.
All in all, “1968″ is an provocative and useful retrospective on a very difficult year in American history. More attention to detail and more resources dedicated to music licensing would have made this a worthy part, but it’s quiet worth a discover.
This video was fine! Having been born in 1968 it was large to spy so many of the events that literally “changed” America unfold before my eyes. As a high school history teacher,I purchased this video to demonstrate my senior United States History classes. It was both informative and bright (even for 17 and 18 year olds!)
