In May 1969, UCLA film students Norman Yonemoto and Nikolai Ursin traveled to Berkeley, California, in the midst of the now-historic People’s Park Protest. Following upheaval over the potential destruction of a nearby community park, then-Governor Ronald Reagan famously called in the National Guard. In documenting the ensuing protests, the filmmakers capture important and unseen moments, focusing on the sense of joy and community found amongst the students, community members and supporters.
