This is a gem of a documentary done for Granada TV in the UK that has unfortunately never been officially released or even re-broadcasted as far as I know. It's a well-made look at our culture circa 1967 twenty years on, all within the context of the 20th anniversary of the Beatles masterpiece Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. There's lots of great footage of bands and figures from the 60's (George Harrison comes off as the wisest of the Beatles here)with a non-judgmental look back at a pivotal time in our history that has been revised by many who have either lost the promise that era held or who were not even there at all. Yes, there was a lot of excessive drug-taking and silliness, but a lot of good came out of the best aspects of that period, and this documentary does a good job documenting it.
