Description

Shy Janet McGill goes off to Berkeley in 1967 with her good grade point average and a boyfriend on campus. She doesn’t consider world events. Then comes total awareness of the Vietnam War. She watches in horror as her family celebrates her brother’s new military status. Her boyfriend Aaron Becker is draft deferred?as long as he stays in school?but his future has been dimmed. A feeling of doom permeates the college campus. On the verge of heartbreak, Janet joins some anti-war protests.
