From Brazil to Japan, the United States to Europe, the world was engulfed by a wave of protest between 1965 and 1975. Filmmaker Don Kent provides a global perspective on the protest movements in two feature length documentaries.

The Wave (1965-1969)

The Explosion (1970-1975)

In 1968, young people from Berkeley to Paris and from Prague to Tokyo rose up against the world they were being offered. In this sprawling but riveting two-part documentary, veteran filmmaker Don Kent tracks the development, decline and legacy of this global movement against the fiery backdrop of the Vietnam War, civil rights struggles, dueling ideologies, and international coup d’états. A time capsule full of evocative sights and sounds, narrated by leading historians and political activists, Les années 68 effortlessly connects apparently discrete events to form a blazingly timely analysis of a decade that shaped the way we live now.
