Home or abroad, Viet Nam is the headline, and the next generation of the Levin family can't escape a world set on fire. Flower children pound the drums of change. The National Guard is armed and out in full force. Cousins Annie and Bela couldn't have more different lives. Annie is a stay-at-home mom with three kids and Bela is a budding journalist, but when Annie's husband is tapped to fly bombers over Viet Nam, and Bela is caught in the explosive Democratic National Convention, Viet Nam becomes personal. True to the events and politics that galvanized a generation in 1968, A Time to Speak is steaming with romance, clashing with protest and raging with the horrors of war. Yet, at center stage is a family that places friendship, love, and the meaning of commitment above all else.
