Growing Up in America (1989)

Plot

Morley Markson revisits the counterculture icons of the 1960s in this insightful documentary, featuring figures like Abbie Hoffman, Jerry Rubin, Allen Ginsberg, and Timothy Leary. Through a blend of past footage and contemporary interviews, the film explores their enduring legacies and how their radical ideas have evolved over decades. As a sequel to his 1971 work, "Breathing Together: Revolution of the Electric Family," Markson's narrative provides a thought-provoking examination of rebellion, societal change, and the ongoing quest for freedom in America.
