The documentary “Not For Ourselves Alone” is worth repeated viewings. It can be ordered online or through instant play on Netflix. Noted doc filmmaker Ken Burns: ”I don’t think I could call myself a documentary film maker interested in surveying the terrain of my country’s history, as I have been doing for the past 25 years, without expressing artistically my outrage at why this story, the largest social movement in the history of the United States, is given essentially a picture and a caption in our history books.”

When I tried to watch this a few weeks ago on the instant download on Netflix, it quit less than an hour through. I was very disappointed, but I haven’t tried since. If other people have this same trouble, maybe we can let the people at Netflix know.
