Youth '68 sounds as obscure and distant-from-thee as Ttatelolco. But prefix that common title with Jim Henson and the counterculture collage becomes as irresistible as the absurdist puppets that made the AmEx cardholder a for-all-time trivia answer. Unscreened since its original airing (back on April 21, 1968), this hour-long documentary is a time capsule containing the '60s zeitgeist: There's polarized, plain-spoken words from LBJ-led juniors and seniors, experimental-film flourishes, some modern dance, and, above it all, the vogue sounds of the Beatles, the Who, and Simon & Garfunkel. Also look for appearances from Jefferson Airplane, the Mamas and Papas, and the epoch's jumbo-sized keywords — Sex, Religion, War.
