MY GENERATION

Recommended. An excellent documentary about social changes in the UK. I would have never thought Michael Caine is Cockney. But he is and he explains how in the early 60s movies didn't have any protagonists they could relate to and how music was a pass to riches for the uneducated and how grammar schools offering free education empowered the working class. Excellent editing, lots of the 60s music and stories about how they became the first generation which was shaped by the young. Shows history when it was being made.
