I wasn't sure if I would enjoy a documentary about the Woodstock Music Festival, that didn't actually focus on the music. But I enjoyed it a lot.

Though the focus of this documentary is on all that took place to bring the Festival into being, and the actual day to day crisises, and behind the scenes events, it is an indispensable watch for anyone interested in that momentous occasion.

It will assist you yo understand the magnitude and the sheer folly of it all. You will be amazed that they avoided a major disaster.

This movie gives an documentary type version insight of the era through first hand accounts and original footage of the concert and crowd.

The story leading up to the concert and what happened each day takes the viewer back to experience those times.

Compliments the original concert version and movie version of the events.

Once the concert stuff starts - WOW. The footage is great. There are a few major artists that didn't get any coverage in this documentary. I wonder if that was a rights issue. That aside, the insider footage of this concert and the concert dwellers and the social and cultural impact it had is fascinating.
