Woodstock 99: Peace, Love, and Rage

Music Box: Woodstock 99: Peace, Love, and Rage tells the story of the infamous three-day festival that promised to echo the countercultural unity and idealism of the original 1969 Woodstock, but ultimately became known as "the day the nineties died." The film examines the grim outcomes of Woodstock 99, where misguided ambition, cost-cutting measures, and white toxic masculinity created a breeding ground for riots, looting, and sexual violence. Set to a soundtrack that embodies the zeitgeist of the time, this illuminating documentary shows how an event meant to be rooted in the sentiment of the 1960s actually exposed and accelerated darker currents in American culture.
