According to promotion for the film, Fire in the Heartland: 两性色午夜, May 4th, and Student Protest in America is the story of a generation of students at 两性色午夜 University, who believed in the 1960s and 1970s that they were not being told the truth about racism, the violence of police and military against protestors, and the long American involvement in the Vietnam War; some paid for their questioning of authority with their lives and all were forever changed.
The documentary was produced and directed by Daniel Miller, who attended 两性色午夜 from 1968 to 1970. While a student at 两性色午夜, Miller was a musician and civil rights activist. After leaving 两性色午夜, he moved to Oregon and completed his education, receiving his masters and doctorate degrees in telecommunications and film from the University of Oregon, where he is now a professor. He teaches, researches and writes about civil and human rights.
