Making Sense of the Sixties - Season 1 Episode 5 Coming to a Peace...with Ourselves
The Nixon Administration is the time frame for the fifth and final chronological program. The show explores pro- and antiwar activity after the Cambodian invasion and Kent State, and the rise of the silent majority—"Love It or Leave It." The program shifts to new forms of social activism in the early 1970s such as ecology, brown and red power, and the rise of many grassroots organizations that demonstrated empowerment—everyone had a cause. Some scenes from women's liberation encounter groups are engrossing, and the cut from the movie Diary of a Mad Housewife should justify feminism to any critic.
