Directed by Stuart HagmannMy rating: 3 stars out of 4

(Turner Classic Movies)
Students take over the office of a university president and stage a sit-in. Simon, a student on the rowing team, lives in an apartment adorned with the artifacts of the time: peace symbols, abstract art, Che posters, etc. He wanders over to the "strike" with his 8mm camera to see what it is all about up close and personal. He meets Linda, she is more active in the cause, and is attracted to Simon. Together, they experience police riots, demonstrations, chanting, etc. Filmed in a somewhat New Wave style with hand held camerawork, it's one long acid trip (starting with the orange juice) seen through the eyes of Simon. The soundtrack is probably better known than the film.
