About the second film:
It Felt Like a Kiss:

It Felt Like a Kiss tells the story of America’s rise to power in the golden age of pop, and the unforeseen consequences it had on the world and in our minds. Beginning in 1959, the show spotlights the dreams and desires that America inspired during the ’60s, when the world began to embrace the country and its culture as never before. But as the film unfolds, the audience is forced to face the dark forces that were veiled by the American dream – a dream that ultimately returns to haunt us all.
