The 1960s on college campuses is usually portrayed in movies and documentaries as an idyll of peace and love, punctuated by antiwar mad bombers from Ivy League schools. Lost to this narrative are the gritty struggles against capitalism and the Vietnam War waged by blue-collar kids in commuter schools. Mixing dramatic 16mm black and white footage of antiwar protesters from a 1969 campus building takeover with contemporary interviews, Fordham SDS explores the struggle of working class college students in this Jesuit university in The Bronx, and how their participation in violent confrontations with authorities altered the course of their lives.
