Times... They Are A Changin'
In the mid-1940s America was a great place to be. They had just helped defeat both Japan and Nazi Germany leading the country to be arguably the most powerful nation on the planet. On the home front it was all about success and luxuries. In the coming decades living in America would become more and more about being entertained and having the newest thing. But all the success was geared towards those who fought. The young adults who sacrificed in war or at home. Their children did not have the marketing attention they would years later. Instead, they spent much of their time finding their own adventures, their own entertainment and their own type of luxuries.

From children in puppy love to young adults struggling to make their way in the world, finding their purpose, Times… They Are a Changin’ is an emotional ride through one couple’s life together.
