KAMELEONI – BEATLESI NEKDANJE JUGOSLAVIJE, je glasbeno dokumentarni film, o petih gimnazijcih iz Kopra, ki je v poznih 60-ih letih obnorela Jugoslavijo. Kljub peščico lastnih avtorskih skladb, so polnili dvorane in nogometne stadione z več 10.000 obiskovalci. V Ljubljani so otvorili Gospodarsko razstavišče in Halo Tivoli. Postavili so temelje jugoslovanski glasbeni industriji. Imeli so celostno podobo, čevljarje, krojače, klube oboževalk, na koncertih pa jih je spremljala menedžerka in koncertna ekipa. Leta 1968 so nastopili v največji evropski diskoteki Piper Club v Milanu, kjer so igrali ob Jimi-ju Hendrix-u in Joan Baez. Njihovi posnetki so takrat prišli celo do Beatlsov. Konec leta 1969 so dopolnili 18 let, z Boštjanom Hladnikom so posneli kultni film Sončni krik, nato pa so ji vpoklicali k vojakom in skupina je razpadla. Kameleoni so priprli Jugoslovansko železno zaveso in se celotni generaciji pomagal osvoboditi spon idejnega in kulturnega povojnega monumentalizma.
