Wonder Years: A Kentucky Journey 1968-72

Wonder Years: A Kentucky Journey 1968-72 is a whirlwind tour through four tumultuous years of Kentucky, US and World history. Producer Dan Conti tells the story without narration, using clips of actual news broadcasts and documentaries, films, TV shows, speeches and music. The political, sports and musical figures of the day were larger than life…Lyndon Johnson, Richard Nixon, Wendell Ford, Charles de Gaulle, Mao Tse-Tung, Willie Mays, Joe Namath, the Beatles and The Who. 

 

As assassinations and the war in Vietnam tear the nation apart, astonishing achievements like the first heart transplant and a man on the moon point to exciting and promising paths for the future. Kentucky becomes the nation’s top coal producer, braves a mining disaster, horse race scandal and racial strife and welcomes Robert Kennedy to Prestonsburg. Wonder Years: A Kentucky Journey promises to spark delightful and melancholy memories along the way.
