Just as sex, drugs, rock & roll, hippies, and Vietnam enter our consciousness, so it does for Ben Sweet, the shy, 18-year-old son of conservative businessman, Sy. Ben enters UC Berkeley in 1966 to avoid the draft, but finds himself smack in the middle of a home-grown revolution.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs a coming-of-age story against the backdrop of societal upheaval, exploring the tension between personal awakening and collective rebellion. It relies on the university setting as a pressure cooker for the era's ideologies.

What lingers after the credits is the poignant contrast between youthful idealism and the complex realities of change. The narrative captures the confusion and exhilaration of finding one's voice in a noisy world. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Bobby Roth

Watch with an open mind, ideally as a double feature with a documentary about the 60s.
