1957 America. Some Call This Time PARADISE. Do You See It That Way?

Описание: You are watching a clip from a 90 minute documentary feature film that I made on what happened in America after Sputnik was launched by the Russians on October 4, 1957. In order to understand that time, I made several sequences of what people's lives were like. This sequence presents how middle-class suburbanites were living during October 4th 1957 when Sputnik appeared in the skies. Other sequences in the film present how different segments of American society lived during those days. If you search the word Sputnik on my YouTube channel you will find many other clips from my film which is titled "Sputnik Mania". The American middle class was a very real thing back then. Tens of millions of Americans moved to the suburbs and to their own home for the 1st time. Baseball was a big deal on TV. Baby boomers babies were everywhere and on my street in Levittown, Long Island had at least one child growing up in every home. It was an amazing time from that point of view. When you view this clip please do not discount that many Americans did live this way and feel these things. And of course, many Americans did not.
