Anyone watching the 9-part docuseries "1971" on AppleTV+ ? [View all]
About:
In a tumultuous era, 1971 was a year of musical innovation and rebirth fueled by the political and cultural upheaval of the time. Stars reached new heights, fresh talent exploded onto the scene and boundaries expanded like never before.

I'm enjoying this tour through some very important history and deep societal changes set to the music of that year and the stories of those who made it. I'm on episode 5 and that episode is so resonant to today's BLM movement and police actions. For those who don't know the history (or have forgotten), I think you will get a lot out of this episode in particular. Earlier episodes showcase the evolution of earlier anti-war demonstrations from the late 60s, the rise of feminism, and gay movement empowerment while showing vignettes of the best musical performers of the day in response. I do recommend it
