American dreams

From the thrill of dancing to the latest new songs to the unsettling times after the assassination of a beloved President, this is a story of one family's journey through the joys and pains of America in the '60s and early '70s. Meg's teenage life revolves around the popular dance show, American Bandstand. While Meg's younger brother and sister are concerned with simple pursuits, her older brother, JJ, is fighting to follow his dreams instead of his father's. Meanwhile, the world swirls around them - a vibrant combination of rock and roll, equal rights and soon, war.
