To support my efforts to create more clips please donate to me at www.patreon.com/allinaday. I made this for PBS in 1970. It captured the dawn of the amateur filmmaker era when people used 8 mm. In a way, the young people revealed in this documentary are just like YouTubers are today. In another way, it looks like this film was made 100 years ago. I wonder if I will find any of the people in this film because I present it on YouTube. I hope so.
