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

  • IS THIS MAKING SENSE OF THE SIXTIES PART 2????????

  • @fotroscopo yes it is.

    David Hoffman - Filmmaker

  • Mr. Hoffman, many people inquire about the name of the title track, and although it is by composer Ara Dinkjian, I cannot seem to locate the exact song on any of his albums. It would be a great help to those of us who were moved by your documentary, and his music, if you could point us in the right direction. Thanks!

  • @ranafrg4224 I'm afraid that I cannot tell you more about the name of the song are used from Mr. Dinkjian's album. He is a wonderful composer to be sure. He does have a website but YouTube does not let me leave it in this post. This piece is on his first album I believe.

  • Wonderful!!!

  • Mr Hoffman,

    Is there any way that you could PLEASE upload the entire "Making Sense of the Sixties"? I can't find it ANYWHERE

  • I saw this when it was originally on TV and it is still one of the best documentaries of the sixties that I've ever seen. I'm still hoping it will be rereleased one day..

  • Has this or is it going to be released on dvd any time soon? I've got my old vhs recording of it from years ago, but I'd like a better version.

  • what is the acoustic song at the beginning?

  • That song at 04:30 is sung at the beginning of the show "Weeds".

  • I remember the early '60's as almost an extension of the '50's. Then Kennedy said let's enrich things a little and that was Hopeful. The lingering thing in the background was the Folk movement which introduced another way of thinking and reflecting, and then civil rights came into focus legitimizing it further. Vietnam vomited up from the Red scare and patience was worn. By' '68 onward the explosion was Enormous! The '60's was the era of  "WHY" and planting the seeds for" 'now solve This'!"
