"It Was Twenty Years Ago Today" directed by John Sheppard, for Granada Television, U.K., 1987. This is one of the best documentaries ever made. It is clear that the director, John Sheppard, had both a firm grasp of his subject and a brilliant ability to chose personalities and events which would tell the story with great effect. Then of course he had to edit all the footage. What is particularly impressive is the documentary's range: It addresses issues in the U.K. and in the U.S. The drug busts of British rock stars was a very telling episode, but the documentary's focus on the Haight-Ashbury district in San Francisco, and the levitation of the Pentagon, are as gritty, accurate, and real as it gets. This documentary was an enormous amount of work. Since we can presume that documentaries are made so that people can see them, it remains a disgrace that this documentary is not available for home video and educational use.
