  • This feature documentary follows up on 2 important NFB documentaries that captured the turbulent year of 1967, a time when social and cultural revolution, as well as generational change, were on everyone’s mind. The first, Christopher’s Movie Matinée, followed the travels of 14 Toronto teenagers over the course of the summer, while the second, Flowers on a One-way Street, documented the conflict between the hippies of the day and Toronto City Council, over the future of the Yorkville neighbourhood, then Canada's counter-culture capital. More than 2 decades later, the filmmakers have sought out some of the films' participants, not as an exercise in nostalgia but to discover what traces remain in the lives of those who most deeply felt the impact of the '60s
    Directed by Albert Kish and Donald Winkler - 1994 | 57 min

    Should do a follow-up documentary 30 years later with all these people as grandparents. Having said that, unfortunately Jan Moss sadly passed away in 2017

    The summer of 67 in the summer of 2020: This is now the perfect time to make the third and probably part to this film, with those boomers reflecting on that period in Yorkville, through the lens of what society is being put through now.

      I had that same thought. I would love to know how they all feel now, after careers, families, and political events. Some were pretty critical of their youthful activities. Would they still feel the same today? I'm the age of some of the younger participants. I still remember the Yorkville of that time.

      FFS, let this moment in history DIE. May it be permanently removed from our conscience and never, EVER be remembered.

    Interesting to hear these people reflect on their younger selves and how fulla crap they were.
    Trashing values in the 60s sounds similar to woke culture today, only today it's more extreme and in the mainstream.

    I remember the summer of 1967 with a little joy it was my first summer holiday because I started school in 1966. Seemed so fun to be a youth then not a 7 year old in Sweden. What a great movie this is. Thank you for showing this. Love these old historical documentary films that show how it really was then.

    This isn't so much a 60s/90s thing as it is a young & old thing, the classic conflict between parents and children. The parent says "it's gotta be done" and the child says "I don't wanna"
