The 'long 68' saw an extraordinary range of protests across much of the western
world. Some of these were genuinely revolutionary - around 10 million French
workers struck and the whole state teetered on the brink of collapse. Others
were more easily contained, but had profound longer term implications -
terrorist groups, feminist collectives, gay rights activists could all trace
important roots to 1968. Bill Clinton and even Tony Blair are, in many ways, the
product of 68.
THE LONG '68 is a striking and original attempt, half a century on, to show how
these events, which in some ways still seem so current, stemmed from histories
and societies which are in practice now extraordinarily remote from our own
time.
