It was the year of the Beatles and the Civil Rights Act; of the Gulf of Tonkin and Barry Goldwater's campaign for the presidency; the year that Americans learned smoking was bad for their health and Cassius Clay became Mohammed Ali; the year that cities across the country erupted in violence and Americans tried to make sense of the assassination of their president. Based on The Last Innocent Year: America in 1964, the film will follow some of the most prominent figures of the time

Birth of a new era -- The modern conservative movement -- The Beatles and Muhammad Ali -- The feminie mystique -- The great society -- Freedom summer -- The Republican National Convention -- The Harlem riots -- Finding the slain volunteers -- The Gulf of Tonkin resolution -- The free speech movement -- Johnson vs. Goldwater
