Interesting facts
Growing Up in America is a Canadian documentary film, directed by Morley Markson and released in 1988. A sequel to his 1971 film Breathing Together: Revolution of the Electric Family, the film profiles many of the same 1960s radical figures who had been featured in the original film, and the "yippies to yuppies" transformation that many of them had undergone by the 1980s.
