In 1969, a CBS executive invited a group of young people to document the counterculture with the new medium of portable video. They traveled the country videotaping Abbie Hoffman, Fred Hampton, Woodstock, antiwar protests, feminist rallies, and other aspects of the cultural and political upheaval. But when CBS saw the footage, they shut down the project. Undaunted, the young pioneers became a collective and began holding screenings, eventually creating their own pirate TV station. Their forgotten story is revealed through fascinating interviews and footage.
