				"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.
