Vietnam Touched Off A Firestorm

I am very proud of the television series I made for PBS called Making Sense of the Sixties. I had the chance to spend a year examining my youth and how I became an active member of the 60s generation. If you are from that generation or a child of the 60s, I think you would find the entire series of value. To see my other work visit www.theHoffmancollection.com

This series is pretty great! you're right to be proud. This is the best documentary (taken as a whole) on the 60's i've seen and i wonder if it wouldn't be interesting to revisit it and turn it into one large documentary! ... wonderful images and interesting reflections... thank you!

pod42 - thank you for your comment. I believe that Making Sense of the Sixties would make a fabulous single feature length film, especially if I added some of the outtake content I still have. But these days, there seems to be no one willing to fund this kind of "historical" documentary.

Good luck to you,

David Hoffman -- filmmaker

I've forwarded this link to my son (now 21) who has never seen anything this important about American History. Thank you.
