This documentary, part of the
20th Century With Mike Wallace series from CBS News and the History Channel, heads back in time to the tumultuous year of 1968. Narrated by series host and CBS News correspondent
Mike Wallace, this episode delves into the trauma and horror of that year, starting with the assassination of Robert F. Kennedy. Shortly after clinching the Democratic presidential nomination, Kennedy was gunned down, leaving a divided nation in a state of mourning. Later that year, riots, chaos, and police brutality dominated the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, where demonstrators protested the Vietnam War.
20th Century With Mike Wallace features interviews with historians and with reporters who personally covered these stories and who share their emotions about this sad period in the history of America. ~ Cecilia Cygnar, All Movie Guide
