In the next show, "In A Dark Time," the producers return to the "reality" of the 1965 to 1968 era of city riots, black power, campus confrontations, and the Vietnam War. The show's theme is the decline of idealism, rise of frustration, and the subsequent "fire in the streets" violence that symbolizes this decade for most Americans. The show ends in 1968 with the nation beleaguered and divided: you're either left or right, part of the solution or part of the problem. Ultimately, this program makes sense of the election of "law and order" candidate, Richard M. Nixon.
