Boomers have redefined every stage of life they have passed through, and will continue to re-write the rules as they enter the second half of their lives. The program covers the past, present and future as the boomers transform from innocent children into the idealistic and self-empowering adults of today. The two-hour special follows a generation through the idyllic 1950s to the present as they develop a unique personality and continue to dominate every aspect of American culture.
