About
The new beat!.. The new bounce! The new joy-generation!
A 1967 pseudo-documentary film chronicling the travel experiences of The Young Americans choir. It was given an Academy Award in 1969, though it was revoked because it was released in 1967 and was thus ineligible, the only film in history to have done so.
