The Strawberry Statement is a 1970 cult film about the counterculture and student revolt in the 1960s, loosely based on the non-fiction book by James Simon Kunen about the Columbia University protests of 1968.
The film features Bruce Davison as Simon, a college student and at first reluctant protester, and Kim Darby as Linda, a more radical fellow student. Kunen appears in a cameo role in the film. Thunderclap Newman's "Something in the Air" and numerous other rock songs are used on the sound track.
