Summary

In August, 1969, half a million people from all walks of life and every corner of the country converged on a small dairy farm in upstate New York. They came to hear the concert of their lives, but most experienced something far more profound: a moment that would change them and the country forever and define a cultural revolution. Through the voices of those who were there, Woodstock tells the story of the political and social upheaval leading up to those three historic days, and the extraordinary events of the concert itself, when near disaster put the ideals of the counterculture to the test.

Notes

"Subtitles are a function of the disc and serve the same purpose as closed captions"--Container.

Originally broadcast on PBS as an episode of American experience in 2019.
