While the sixties of the world were associated with civil struggle movements and the rejection of the Vietnam War, the sixties decade in the Arab countries was linked to the dominance of Arab nationalism as an idea, and military coups as a reality. “The Sixties” is a series of three documentaries that record the most prominent features of the sixties of the twentieth century in the Arab world. We monitor the mutual interaction between politics on the one hand, and Arab society and culture on the other.
