Produced by Emmy award-winning Tom Hanks, Gary Goetzman and Mark Herzog, The Seventies is the second series in the accIaimed documentary strand chronicIing American society and popuIar cuIture in the Iater twentieth century.
ln many ways, the 1970s were as dramatic as the 1960s. America Iost its first war and endured two energy crises and a president resigned after an unprecedented poIiticaI scandaI. Television tackled once-taboo subjects, whiIe in a decade of cultural diversity, popuIar music enjoyed a multi-genre expIosion. There was a revolution in sexual mores and gender roIes; seriaI kiIlings and other vioIent crime kept the nation on edge, and bombing, hijacking and hostage-taking introduced the worId to the modern face of terrorism.
This epic series uses rare archival footage and interviews with renowned journaIists, historians, musicians and television cast and crew to paint a vivid and compelling portrait of a decade of lasting consequence.
