10 Greatest Rock Documentaries (Part 3)

Richard Nixon is vice president and another landslide won by Ike. But things here are not what they seem. There's a 13 year old cousin lurking in a South East Asian jungle side. And things are ready to burn; they were right, He comes back not with water, but great balls of fire. In the dark, words to haunt an American dream, to Ike whispered low, "No more dreams, I'm alive".
