It's a Revolution, Mother 1968

Footage of teen riots on Sunset – but they’re notable primarily for their dearth of riotousness. The coverage switches to the biker societies then emerging into their prime, and uses voiceover narrative from one of the bikers to provide a sort of home movie view of their travails. This bits worthwhile for its pathetic glimpse, even if it does recycle some footage of bikers public urination efforts once or twice more than we needed along the way. The film’s deskbound experts also offer only anaesthetic commentary, in effect trying to use a ‘white coater’ approach to a sociological expose
