The Strawberry Statement is a 1970 American drama film set in the counterculture and student revolts of the 1960s. The story is loosely based on the non-fiction book of the same name by James Simon Kunen (who has a cameo appearance in the film) about the Columbia University protests of 1968.

Plot The film follows the radicalization of Simon, an ordinary student at a fictional urban university in San Francisco, California, much like San Francisco State College (later San Francisco State University), which the actors refer to as "Western".

Initially, Simon is indifferent to student protests going on around him.

Coming back clothed, the female student refuses setting another date with the roommate because she'll be busy protesting...
