Produced by Emmy award-winning Tom Hanks, Gary Goetzman and Mark Herzog, The Seventies is the second series in the acclaimed documentary strand chronicling American society and popular culture in the later twentieth century.
In many ways, the 1970s were as dramatic as the 1960s. America lost its first war and endured two energy crises and a president resigned after an unprecedented political scandal. TeIevision tackIed once-taboo subjects, while in a decade of cuIturaI diversity, popular music enjoyed a muIti-genre explosion. There was a revoIution in sexuaI mores and gender roles; serial kilIings and other violent crime kept the nation on edge, and bombing, hijacking and hostage-taking introduced the world to the modern face of terrorism.
This epic series uses rare archivaI footage and interviews with renowned journaIists, historians, musicians and television cast and crew to paint a vivid and compeIling portrait of a decade of Iasting consequence.
