An intimate look at the Woodstock Music & Art Festival held in Bethel, NY in
1969, from preparation through cleanup, with historic access to insiders,
blistering concert footage, and portraits of the concertgoers; negative and
positive aspects are shown, from drug use by performers to naked fans
sliding in the mud, from the collapse of the fences by the unexpected hordes
to the surreal arrival of National Guard helicopters with food and medical
assistance for the impromptu city of 500,000.
