Young Americans (1967 film)


Young Americans is a 1967 documentary film directed by Alexander Grasshoff and chronicling the travel experiences of The Young Americans choir. It was given an Academy Award in 1969, though it was revoked because it was released in 1967 and was thus ineligible, the only film in history to have done so.

Release

The film premiered at the Plaza Theatre in Kansas City on August 21, 1967 as a benefit for the Will Rogers Hospital.
