# Young Americans (1967)

1967 · 104 min · Documentary · United States


## Synopsis

Young Americans is a 1967 American documentary directed by Alexander Grasshoff. It follows the Young Americans choir as they travel and perform across the United States. The film won the Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature in 1969, but the award was later revoked because the film had been released in 1967, making it ineligible. It remains the only documentary to have had its Oscar rescinded. Actress and singer Vicki Lawrence, later known for The Carol Burnett Show, appears in several musical numbers.
