The Unfinished Nation: Determined to Be Heard
Chronicles the excitement and turbulence of the 1960s and 1970s, decades of intense social and political activism. Tracing the increasing importance of identity and civil rights to young Americans in particular, the program observes counterculture life in San Francisco, California, and discusses the catalysts behind the student-lead protests at Columbia University in 1968. From Black Power to the Indian Citizenship Act and impact of such leaders and artists as César Chávez, Patricia Schroeder, and Francis Ford Coppola, the documentary addresses the many different forms of activism during the era. Respected historians probe the issue of affirmative action and describe how the events of the Vietnam War and Wounded Knee changed American politics and society, especially for previously disadvantaged minorities and women.
The Unfinished Nation: Crisis of Authority
Documents the foreign and domestic policies enacted during the presidency of Richard Nixon and the negotiations led by Henry Kissinger. The program examines Nixon's strategies in Vietnam, focusing on the Christmas bombings, Vietnamization, the fall of Saigon, the signing of the Paris Peace Accords, and anti-war protests at Kent State and Jackson State universities. Showing how Nixon concentrated on relations with China and established détente with the Soviet Union, the presentation notes how, simultaneously, Kissinger negotiated an end to fighting in the Middle East and practiced shuttle diplomacy, working out a separation agreement between Israel and Egypt and Israel and Syria. Touching on the American economy, the program highlights the effects of the OPEC boycott, end of the Bretton Woods System, and the Smithsonian Agreement. The program wraps up with a look at the Watergate scandal, including Nixon's impeachment trial and resignation.
