Synopsis:

1968 was a year of extraordinary tragedy, triumph, and transformation. The assassinations of Martin Luther King, Jr. and Robert F. Kennedy failed to halt the juggernaut of the Civil Rights Movement. Richard Nixon was elected President following riots at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago. As rockets rained down on fighting men in Vietnam, a NASA rocket carried men into lunar orbit. From music to politics to issues of feminism, race, and war, 1968 left almost no facet of American life unchanged.

Now, legendary award winning journalist and best selling author Tom Brokaw commemorates the revolutionary events of this pivotal year in a feature length special, inspired by his book, Boom!: Voices Of The Sixties" Personal Reflections On The '60s And Today. Drawing upon his decades of experience, Brokaw revisits the scenes of these iconic events, pairing provocative voices from the past and present to explore how these 40 year old moments still impact our lives today.
