"That was the moment for me where it stopped becoming about the concert-goer or the festival-goer experience. It was just cutting budgets, cutting budgets. We need to make changes. We're not making profits. Their goal was to make money." – Lee Rosenblatt

Why watch this? This concert-gone-wrong documentary emanates Lord of the Flies, and it is ugly.

Plot Summary: A planned revival of the iconic Woodstock festival, meant to recreate the peace and love of its 1969 predecessor, spirals into chaos and destruction over three days. A combination of factors, including extreme heat, sanitation issues, exorbitant prices for essentials, and a lack of adequate security contribute to a breakdown in order among the massive crowds.

Dad's Preview: For as wonderful and mind-altering as the original Woodstock 1969 concert was, the 1999 Woodstock disaster stands in juxtaposition regarding almost every vibe. Peace, love and drugs were squished into the mud of hate, abuse and riots. A grass-roots mellow-fest was pounded into oblivion by promoter greed. This film investigates the lethal brew of forces that caused this horrifying debacle: The facilities were inadequate for the crowd size. It was brutally hot, especially on the venue's concrete airport runway. Water was in short supply. And the acts on stage were screaming about rage. The resulting chaos saw innocence destroyed within pyres of young adult disenchantment.
