Harvard Club of San Diego

The late 1960s counterculture was a mass awakening.  It was a renaissance of music, art, experimental films, underground comix, psychedelic drugs, Eastern philosophy and cosmic consciousness.  It was the dawn of the movements for peace, civil rights, environmentalism, sexual diversity and women’s liberation.

UNDERGROUND 68 is the story of Ariel, a Harvard student writing her 2017 senior thesis about campus opposition to the Vietnam war fifty years ago.  She digs up more than she bargained for in the unconventional lives of artists, musicians and activists from the Harvard class of 1968.  Her story shines a blazing light on today's realities.
