DocumentaryHistory
Take a trip back to Utah in the ’70s, when a new emerging culture clashed with tradition and institution. More than just disco and drugs, the 1970s were a time of great upheaval, socially, politically, and economically. Hear it from the mouths of the people who lived it, and see how the 1970s helped define Utah as a place for growth and a groovy new outlook on life.
